View Configurations

Information that defines a view is stored in a view configuration. View configurations -- like profile configurations -- are stored as .XML format files. This approach allows for:

Predefined views are installed as .XML files and cannot be permanently changed. Any changes made in a session only appear while the session is open. Advanced customization is possible by making a copy of the .XML file containing the view configuration and then modifying the XML representation itself.

The view configuration files that are installed with CodeAnalyst provide a good starting point for creation of new views. Predefined view configuration files are in the /opt/CodeAnalyst/share/codeanalyst/Configs/ViewConfig directory. In this directory, CodeAnalyst stores common view configuration files. Platform specific configuration files are stored in the subdirectories with the corresponded AMD processor family name.

NOTE : Since the unit mask for some performance monitoring events vary on different AMD processor families, view configurations that use these events are listed underneath platform specific directory.

See View Configuration File Format for more information about the XML representation of a view.
