Events Table view

The Events Table view displays the raw events in table form. When you select an area of the Overview graph, the Events Table updates to reflect the chosen data.

With this view, you can see every kernel event that occurred during the trace period and the exact order of the events. Because a trace has a large number of events(even in relatively short traces), you may want to show only certain events to find areas of interest. You can do so by using the Filter input box.

Creating the view

The Events Table is available from the Views panel in the System Profiler.

To create the view:

  1. Click Views > Events Table. The event properties table updates when you select an area of the trace.


The following data is displayed in the table:
Column Description
Event Event number.
Timestamp ns Timestamp when the event occurred in nanoseconds.
Time Length of the event.
Owner Owner of the event.
Type Type of event.
Data Data associated with the event. Often, the PID and TID are included; for message-related events, the message ID is included.
CPU The CPU that the event relates to.
Class Event class.
Cycle CPU cycle.
Real Time Date and time measurement.
PID Identifier for the event.
TID Identifier for the event.
