The General tab for a thread event

To view General event details
  1. Select an event in the Event Table.
  2. Click the General tab in the Event Details panel (Figure 17-4).
  3. The following information can be found on the General tab. If something is marked N/A, it means that there was no information for that piece of information during the recording.

    • Index-a number that keeps track of each event in the recording.
    • Start Time-indicates the time from when the recording was started (default). You can change the default setting of the start time, see Changing Start Time View on an Event.
    • End Time-indicates when the specific event stopped.
    • Duration-the length of the event measured in milliseconds.
    • Thread Name-the name of the thread you are inspecting.
    • Producer-the part of the system that produced the thread, for example, Garbage Collector and JRockit.
    • Level-Levels are a subdivision of producers. Two events within the same level and thread can never be performed at the same time. When you click on several event types within a level, the events appear on top of each other (see Using the Event Types View to Decrease Displayed Events).
    • Event Type-a subdivision of levels. The Event Type corresponds to what you have selected on the Event Types tab (see Using the Event Types View to Decrease Displayed Events).
    • Event Type Description-a brief description of the event type, for example, Thread waiting for a JVM internal event.
