Which high-level views should users start with?

[ebugden]

High-level views are a good starting point for view layouts because they:

• Help contextualize the problem and orient the user: Users start at a level that feels familiar (ex. system calls) before they dive deeper
• Help maintain context: High-level views can serve as a kind of minimap (like in a videogame) that tells users where they are in the trace as they explore details

High-level view ideas:

• CPU top
• Strace
• Application level
• Active thread
• Histogram that distinguishes between event types
