Exporting Views

  All views can be exported to external formats by selecting Export from the View menu or context menu or clicking on the corresponding  toolbar button. A file chooser will be brought up allowing you to specify the output file and the export format.

The export format is chosen with the "file type" combo box in the file chooser. The following export formats are available:

  • HTML
    Available for all views. The view will be exported to an HTML file. Besides the HTML file, several image files might be written to a subdirectory jprofiler_images. If the option to open files after export is enabled, the web browser configured in the general settings is opened and the exported HTML file is displayed.
  • CSV data
    Available for tabular views, hot spots views and graphs with a time axis. CSV data suitable for Microsoft Excel is written to a file. If the option to open files after export is enabled, the registered application for CSV is opened and the exported CSV file is displayed.

    Note: When using Microsoft Excel, CSV is not a stable format. Microsoft Excel on Windows takes the separator character from the regional settings. JProfiler uses a semicolon as the separator in locales that use a comma as a decimal separator and a comma in locales that use a dot as a decimal separator. If you need to override the CSV separator character you can do so by setting -Djprofiler.csvSeparator in bin/jprofiler.vmoptions.

  • XML data
    Available for tree views and hot spots views. XML data with a self-explanatory format is written to a file. If the option to open files after export is enabled, the registered application for XML is opened and the exported XML file is displayed.
  • Properties
    Available for selected views. The exported data contains key-value pairs with data from the view.

  If you export the same view multiple times to the same directory under the same name, a running number will be appended to the filename. The export directory location is persistent and remembered across restarts.
  With the HTML export functionality you can print all views from JProfiler via your web browser.
