Overview
Instana AutoProfile is a production-grade performance profiler built for both production and development environments. It gives developers continuous and historical code-level view of application performance that is essential for locating CPU, memory allocation and I/O hot spots as well as latency bottlenecks. Included runtime metrics and error monitoring complement profiles for extensive performance analysis. Learn more by reading Instana’s AutoProfile Documentation.
Features

Getting started
Log into Your Instana Account (If you don’t have one, you can get a free two week trial).
Installing and configuring Java Autoprofile
Edit the agent configuration file
<agent_install_dir>/etc/instana/configuration.yaml:
com.instana.plugin.profiling.java: enabled: true
Turning on CPU Profiles and Contention Profiles
Other configuration options include the
cpu-sampler-enabled
option. Setting this to true enables SPU profiling.
Additionally, contention profiling can be turned on by setting the
contention-sampler-enabled
parameter to true.
That’s it – just a few parameters, and you’ve got continuous production profiling of your Java code.
Learn about Analyzing Profiles in the AutoProfile documentation.
