Profiles Drilldown
Profiling is a technique used in software development to measure and analyze the runtime behavior of a program. By profiling a program, developers can identify which parts of the program consume the most resources, such as CPU time, memory, or I/O operations. You can use this information to optimize the program, making it run faster or use fewer resources.
Note
The Grafana Explore apps have changed to Grafana Drilldown apps. For example, Explore Logs is now Logs Drilldown. To learn more, read Grafana Drilldown apps: the improved queryless experience formerly known as the Explore apps.
