Profiler modules collect performance data about your application. For information about Profiler modules, refer to Profiler modules introduction.
Some Profiler modules have a large data collection overhead, such as the GPU, UI, and audio Profiler module. To prevent these modules from affecting your application’s performance, you can deactivate them.
Activating and deactivating Profiler modules
To activate or deactivate a module:
- Open the Profiler window (Window > Analysis > Profiler)
- Select the Profiler Modules dropdown
- Enable or disable the modules you want to display
Profiler window's Profiler Modules dropdown menu
Disabling a module removes the module from the window, stops the Profiler from collecting that module's data, and lowers the overhead of the Profiler. When you enable a Profiler module, it starts collecting data, but shows no data for the period in which it wasn't active.
Important
The CPU Usage module always collects data even when it's not active, because other modules rely on it.
Reordering Profiler modules
To change the order that the Profiler modules appear in the window, use the Profiler Module Editor:
- Open the Profiler window (Window > Analysis > Profiler)
- Select the Profiler Modules dropdown
- Select the cog icon (⚙). The Profiler Module Editor opens in its own window.
- Click and drag the handle (≡) next to the module's name to the desired order.
- Select Save Changes and close the window
Profiler Module Editor window
The Profiler window now displays the new order of Profiler modules.
