Description

A metadata event that collection methods can subscribe to.

This event is fired when you capture a memory snapshot. Use it to provide meta data to the snapshot file, for example information related to the context, such as the level, in which it was taken.

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using Unity.Profiling.Memory;

public class MemoryProfilerExample : MonoBehaviour { public string levelName = "Default Level Name";

void Start() { MemoryProfiler.CreatingMetadata += CreateMetadata; }

void CreateMetadata(MemorySnapshotMetadata metadata) { metadata.Description = $"This Memory Snapshot capture started at {DateTime.Now} in level {levelName}."; }

void OnDestroy() { MemoryProfiler.CreatingMetadata -= CreateMetadata; } }

Note: If the project has the Memory Profiler package installed in the Editor, it is recommended to implement a concrete implementation of MemoryProfiler.MetadataCollect instead, which will inject your implementation into any Player builds you make.
