Understanding the Different Parts of a Thread Image

A thread contains information on the levels and events that have been taking place during the recording. Figure 18-2 illustrates how a thread looks when it is zoomed in and magnified.

For information on how to zoom in and magnify a thread, see Magnifying a Thread.

Magnifying a and zooming a thread

The following information becomes visible when magnifying a thread:

  1. The thread itself. This is triggered by the Producer; that is, the part of the system that produced an event for that thread, for example, JRockit.
  2. The different levels of the thread. These are imaginary levels and depict that an event can only take place in one level at a time within the same thread.
  3. The events that have taken place in the thread. Each event type has its own color (can be customized). The start and end of each thread event is marked by a thin black line. When you hover over an event, you will get more information about that event.
