Analyzer (Options Dialog Box)

   

Use this page to set preferences for Visual Studio Analyzer. You can customize the settings for new Visual Studio Analyzer views (windows), set the interval at which measured events are generated, specify whether to hide measured events in the Event List view, and specify whether to pause the application you are monitoring if necessary to finish event processing.

Options

Pause client application if necessary to process all events

Specifies whether to pause your distributed application in order to finish moving all previously generated Visual Studio Analyzer events to the Visual Studio Analyzer event collector. When your application generates Visual Studio Analyzer events, they are gathered in a buffer and then moved in groups to the Visual Studio Analyzer event collector.

This option is off by default to ensure that your application isn't ever blocked by Visual Studio Analyzer. If your application is blocked by Visual Studio Analyzer, you can lose data necessary to your analysis. For example, you might miss a crucial request-response pair that shows the true location of a problem.

Hide measured events in Event List

Specifies whether to hide measured events in the Event List view. These events are hidden by default in the Block Diagram views and the Chart view. This option applies to unfiltered views only.

This option is off by default.

AutoFilter new windows

Specifies whether newly opened Visual Studio Analyzer views are automatically linked to the current autofilter.

This option is on by default.

AutoSelect new windows

Specifies whether newly opened Visual Studio Analyzer views are automatically linked to other open views, so that when you select an event in one view, the same event is selected in all other views.

This option is on by default.

AutoPlayTrack new windows

Specifies whether newly opened Visual Studio Analyzer views automatically change during playback.

This option is on by default.

Measured event firing period 1 event every ... millisecond

Sets a time period for generating measured events. The default value is every 1000 milliseconds.
