The Platform Analysis group contains the System Overview analysis to monitor system behavior and power usage.
System Overview analysis is a driverless event-based sampling analysis that monitors the general behavior of your target system. Use this analysis to identify platform-level factors that limit performance, including power usage and throttling.
The 2025.0 version of Intel® VTune™ Profiler contains the final version of Platform Profiler capabilities, which are available as a standalone downloadable package. No further feature improvements or security fixes will be available after this release. To continue using platform profiling capabilities, use the EMON command line interface. Learn more about this transition in the Intel® VTune™ Profiler - Platform Profiler transition notice.
Prerequisites:
For best results, install the sampling driver for hardware event-based sampling collection types. For Linux* and Android* targets, if the sampling driver is not installed, VTune Profiler can work on Perf* (driverless collection).
To enable system-wide and uncore event collection, use root or sudo to set /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid to 0.
$ echo 0>/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
