Profile by Attaching it to the process using Intel V Tune profiler in Linux CLI

[Ysk966]

I'm trying to profile a Python application (Hotspots, Microarchitecture Exploration) by attaching it to the process. While it was relatively trivial to use GUI, I am not finding ways to do the same using Command Line Interface. Does Intel V tune Profiler support attaching to the process ID while using CLI

Furthermore Is it possible to export to CSV the results

You can use '-target-pid' option in vtune command line as below:

$ vtune -collect hotspots -target-pid 1234

For details, please refer to the user guide:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/vtune-profiler/user-guide/2024-0/target-pid.html

When VTune data collection is finished, you can use vtune -report  to output VTune result to csv file, like below:

$ vtune -report hotspots -r ./r010hs/ -format=csv -report-output=hs.csv

For details, you can get help from the below command:

$ vtune -help report

You can also generate the command line for collection from the GUI as described in this thread:
