Profiling dotnet core in Linux and Visual Studio Code

Question

Is there any way to perform a CPU and memory profiling in Linux and Visual Studio Code for a dotnet core application? Similar to the "Diagnostics Tools" of Visual Studio 2017

Q: So, Visual Studio has profiling tools to help you optimize your .Net Core projects. I was wondering if this is possible to do on Linux or macOS.

REPLY: @doyouevensunbro, Visual Studio doesn't have any profiling tools that work with .NET Core on Linux. At the current time, we recommend collecting performance data on Linux using perf. Instructions are available at https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/Documentation/project-docs/linux-performance-tracing.md.

We're also working on exposing a .NET-centric profiler using functionality called EventPipe in CoreCLR. There's not much documentation on the subject yet.

There’re multiple tools to use out there, but the basic toolkit for profiling .NET Core app on Linux seems to be perf utility along with lttng and perfcollect. Let’s have a look at all of them.
