(I've seen 10ms snapshots mentioned in other posts)</P><P>2) Is one sample the equivalent of taking a thread dump?</P><P>3) In the Execution Time Breakdown we see multiple categories that are beyond the typical thread states you see in a thread dump (NEW, RUNNABLE, BLOCKED, WAITING, TIMED_WAITING, TERMINATED). Instead we see: Code Execution, Lock Time, Wait Time, Disk I/O, Network I/O. Could explanations be given in how these are calculated?</P><P>Thanks!</P><BR /> Wed, 03 Jul 2019 16:03:30 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Explanation-of-categories-in-Method-Hotspot-view/m-p/120587#M13116 matthew_eiseng1 2019-07-03T16:03:30Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Explanation-of-categories-in-Method-Hotspot-view/m-p/120588#M13117 <P>In general, 1 sample is rather kind of cpu sampling not thread dump.
