To change the types of data and the sort order in the Function List display:

Click Metrics... in the Tool Bars.

The Function List Metrics Dialog Box appears.

The types of data listed in the Function List Metrics dialog box depend on the data collected by The Sampling Collector or the collect command (see the collect(1) man page). If all data types were selected in the Collector, the following are available from the Function List Metrics dialog box:

• Exclusive and inclusive user CPU time
• Exclusive and inclusive wall clock time (LWP time in thread 1)
• Exclusive and inclusive total LWP time
• Exclusive and inclusive system CPU time
• Exclusive and inclusive wait CPU time
• Exclusive and inclusive text-page fault time
• Exclusive and inclusive data-page fault time
• Exclusive and inclusive other wait time
• Exclusive and inclusive hardware counter metrics
• Exclusive and inclusive synchronization wait counts
• Exclusive and inclusive synchronization wait time

All the above data are available as a time in seconds or a count value and as a percentage of the total program metric. Hardware counter metrics whose count is in cycles are available as a time in seconds, a count value and a percentage of the total program metric.

The default metrics displayed are exclusive and inclusive user CPU time, exclusive and inclusive hardware counter metrics, inclusive synchronization wait counts and inclusive synchronization wait time, if the data for these metrics was collected. The defaults can be changed using a defaults file. See the er_print(1) man page for details.

In addition, you can choose to display the following for functions or load objects:

• Size, in bytes
• Program-counter address

The names of functions or load objects are always displayed.

To display a particular type of data:

Select the appropriate check box in the "Show Time", "Show Value" or "Show %" column.

To specify sort order:

Select the appropriate radio button from the "Sort by" column.

To make your selections appear in the Function List display:

Click OK to close the Function List Metrics dialog box, or Apply to apply the new selections and keep the dialog box open.

To change the order of the columns in the Function List display and the order of the rows in the Function List Metrics dialog box:

Drag the icon next to a metric name and drop it on the metric you want it to appear above.
