Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Profiler V2 Client class ProfileType.
ProfileType is type of profiling data.
NOTE: the enumeration member names are used (in lowercase) as unique string
identifiers of profile types, so they must not be renamed.

Constants
PROFILE_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED
Value: 0
Unspecified profile type.
Generated from protobuf enum PROFILE_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED = 0;
CPU
Value: 1
Thread CPU time sampling.
Generated from protobuf enum CPU = 1;
WALL
Value: 2
Wallclock time sampling. More expensive as stops all threads.
Generated from protobuf enum WALL = 2;
HEAP
Value: 3
In-use heap profile. Represents a snapshot of the allocations that are
live at the time of the profiling.
Generated from protobuf enum HEAP = 3;
THREADS
Value: 4
Single-shot collection of all thread stacks.
Generated from protobuf enum THREADS = 4;
CONTENTION
Value: 5
Synchronization contention profile.
Generated from protobuf enum CONTENTION = 5;
PEAK_HEAP
Value: 6
Peak heap profile.
Generated from protobuf enum PEAK_HEAP = 6;
HEAP_ALLOC
Value: 7
Heap allocation profile. It represents the aggregation of all allocations
made over the duration of the profile. All allocations are included,
including those that might have been freed by the end of the profiling
interval. The profile is in particular useful for garbage collecting
languages to understand which parts of the code create most of the garbage
collection pressure to see if those can be optimized.
