A directory exists in `/dev/oprofile/` for each counter. For example, if there are 2 counters, the directories `/dev/oprofile/0/` and `/dev/oprofile/1/` exist.

After changing any of the options, save them by clicking the btn:[Save and quit] button. The preferences are written to `/root/.oprofile/daemonrc`, and the application exits. Exiting the application does not stop OProfile from sampling.
|
|
|
After successful setup, you can apply the standard profiling and analyzing tools described in previous sections
|
|
|
-agentlib:pass:quotes[_jvmti_oprofile_]
|
|
|
-agentlib:/usr/lib64/oprofile/libjvmti_oprofile.so
|
|
|
Analyzing the Data
|
|
|
Back up the executable and the sample files
|
|
|
Be extremely careful when setting sampling rates. Sampling too frequently can overload the system, causing the system to appear frozen or causing the system to actually freeze.

By default, [command]#operf# stores the profiling data in the `pass:attributes[{blank}]_current_dir_pass:attributes[{blank}]/oprofile_data/` directory. You can change to a different location with the [option]`--session-dir` option. The usual post-profiling analysis tools such as [command]#opreport# and [command]#opannotate# can be used to generate profile reports. These tools search for samples in `pass:attributes[{blank}]_current_dir_pass:attributes[{blank}]/oprofile_data/` first. If this directory does not exist, the analysis tools use the standard session directory of `/var/lib/oprofile/`. Statistics, such as total samples received and lost samples, are written to the `pass:attributes[{blank}]_session_dir_pass:attributes[{blank}]/samples/operf.log` file.
