# View and analyze profiling data

There are three main views to visualize and analyze profiling data in Grafana:

- Grafana Profiles Drilldown app
- Explore view
- Dashboards view

In addition, you can use Flame graph AI to assist with interpreting flame graphs.

## Profiles Drilldown app

[Profiles Drilldown](/docs/grafana-cloud/visualizations/simplified-exploration/profiles/) is a native Grafana application designed to integrate seamlessly with Pyroscope, the open source continuous profiling platform, providing a smooth, queryless experience for browsing and analyzing profiling data.

You can use Profiles Drilldown in Grafana Cloud or in your own Grafana instance.

For more information, refer to [Access or install Profiles Drilldown](/docs/grafana-cloud/visualizations/simplified-exploration/profiles/access/).

To access this view, navigate to **Drilldown** > **Profiles** in the sidebar menu.

## Explore view

The **Explore** view lets you create targeted queries to your profiling data or view your profiling data alongside matching logs, metrics, traces, K6 test results, or any other data that can be queried in **Explore**.

To access this view, click **Drilldown** > **Profiles** in the sidebar menu.

## Dashboard view

The **Dashboards** view gives you a real-time understanding of what your application is doing and is customizable to help you gain a comprehensive understanding of your application’s performance and identify areas for optimization.

To access this view, click **Dashboards** in the sidebar menu.
