Instance Data Collection Settings Page

The Instance Data Collection page is used to define whether instance data should be collected.

Collect instance data at snapshots

If this setting is selected, then instance data will be collected when a heap snapshot is collected. Instance data is collected for all instances, but in order to reduce the amount of memory used for instance data it is possible to limit the size of string and array instances.

• Maximum size of string instance data
  Defines the maximum number of bytes to collect for a string instance. Strings that are larger than this limit will be truncated.

• Maximum size of array instance data
  Defines the maximum number of bytes to collect for an array instance. Arrays that are larger than this limit will be truncated. This limit does not include memory used for references, since references are stored separately and are needed by the profiler to present instance graphs and root paths.
