Context Switch Rate Field

This field shows the average context switches per second the operating system was doing for the selected range. This information is derived from a specific Thread Context Switch Rate event that may not be available for all possible range selections. To see where the context switch rate events are, you can add them to the operative set to get them highlighted in the range selector.

To add them to the operative set, do the following:

  1. Enable the Thread Context Switch Rate event type in the Event Type view.

  2. Select the Event then Event Types.

  3. Select the Thread Context Switch Rate event type.

  4. On the context menu, select Operative Set then Set Selection.

When you return to the Hot Threads tab, the Thread Context Switch Rate events should now be highlighted in cyan.
