Hi Saurabh! This is my first encounter with v8 or any web related performance profiling. I followed your guide and got the data. I tried using flamegraph or node-tick-processor to analyse it with no success. I've failed to find any related information regarding this data's format any formatting protocol whatsoever.

I'm trying to figure out why node's CPU usage is so high, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Orel.

Hey,
The data generated by the v8 profiler might not be easily visualized using the flamegraph tools since the format of the data in JSON seems to be specific to V8 engine itself.
One of the projects which you can use could be: github.com/davidmarkclements/0x which can help you profile and generate visualizations for your Node.js process

Hope this helps
