  2. Under Choose how you want to profile it, specify profiling options.

  3. Under Run profiling, click Start.

1. Attaching to running processes is available only on Windows. You can attach only to .NET Framework 4.0 or later, .NET Core 3.0 or later, .NET 5 or later processes.
2. dotMemory is unable to collect creation stack traces and traffic information when profiling attached processes.

To start profiling of an already running application

  1. Under Choose what you want to profile, Running Process, select the process you are going to profile.

    If a process you are looking for is missing, click Refresh to update the list of processes and/or click Show All Processes to grant dotMemory administrative permissions (this will show more processes running in the system).

  2. Under Choose how you want to profile it, specify profiling options.

  3. Under Run profiling, click Start.
