Description

Use the

finalization-mode

option with the

collect

,

collect-with

,

import

, and

finalize

commands to define the finalization mode for the result.

Use the

full

finalization mode to perform the finalization on unchanged sampling data on the target system. This mode takes the most time and resources to complete, but produces the most accurate results.

Use the

fast

finalization mode to perform the finalization on the target system using algorithmically reduced sampling data. This greatly reduces the finalization time with a negligible impact on accuracy in most cases. If you discover inaccuracies in your finalization, you can always use the

finalize

action with the

full

finalization mode to re-finalize the result in

full

mode.

Use the

deferred

finalization mode to collect the sampling data and the binary checksums to perform the finalization on another machine. After data collection completes, you can finalize and open the analysis result on the host system. This mode may be useful for profiling applications on targets with limited computational resources, such as IoT devices, and finalizing the result later on the host machine.

Use the

none

option to skip finalization entirely and to not collect the binary checksums. You can also finalize this result later, however, you may encounter certain limitations. For example, if the binaries on the target system have changed or have become unavailable since the sampling data collection, binary resolution may produce an inaccurate or missing result for the affected binary.

You can always repeat the finalization process in a different mode using the

finalize

action.
