ANTS Memory Profiler 8

Setting up a profiling session

In ANTS Memory Profiler, you profile your application in a profiling session. During a profiling session, you can see the memory your application is using in real time. Take snapshots to identify which objects are using memory at particular moments, and investigate any significant changes.

To set up a profiling session, select the application you want to profile, and choose any settings you want to profile with. For example, if you're profiling a web application, you might want to choose an unused port to profile on.
