Open an external profiling report

IntelliJ IDEA provides an ability to open .jfr and .hprof snapshots irrespective of whether they were taken in IntelliJ IDEA or outside of it. This lets you analyze reports that other people shared with you exactly like reports from local profiling sessions.

Open a profiling report

From the main menu, select View | Tool Windows | Profiler and click Open Snapshot.

Alternatively, from the main menu, select Run | Open Profiler Snapshot | Open or drag the necessary file from your system file manager to the editor.
In the dialog that opens, select the snapshot file and click Open.
