# Class EventSettings

java.lang.Object
jdk.jfr.EventSettings

public abstract class EventSettings extends Object
Convenience class for applying event settings to a recording.

An `EventSettings` object for a recording can be obtained by invoking the `Recording.enable(String)` method which is configured using method chaining.

The following example shows how to use the `EventSettings` class.

     Recording r = new Recording();
     r.enable("jdk.CPULoad")
        .withPeriod(Duration.ofSeconds(1));
     r.enable("jdk.FileWrite")
        .withoutStackTrace()
        .withThreshold(Duration.ofNanos(10));
     r.start();
     Thread.sleep(10_000);
     r.stop();
     r.dump(Files.createTempFile("recording", ".jfr"));

## Method Details

### withStackTrace

public final EventSettings withStackTrace()
Enables stack traces for the event that is associated with this event setting.

Equivalent to invoking the `with("stackTrace", "true")` method.

Returns:
  event settings object for further configuration, not `null`

### withoutStackTrace

public final EventSettings withoutStackTrace()
Disables stack traces for the event that is associated with this event setting.

Equivalent to invoking the `with("stackTrace", "false")` method.

Returns:
  event settings object for further configuration, not `null`

### withoutThreshold

public final EventSettings withoutThreshold()
Specifies that a threshold is not used.

This is a convenience method, equivalent to invoking the `with("threshold", "0 s")` method.

Returns:
  event settings object for further configuration, not `null`

### withPeriod

public final EventSettings withPeriod(Duration duration)
Sets the interval for the event that is associated with this event setting.

Parameters:
  `duration` - the duration, not `null`
Returns:
  event settings object for further configuration, not `null`

### withThreshold

public final EventSettings withThreshold(Duration duration)
Sets the threshold for the event that is associated with this event setting.

Parameters:
  `duration` - the duration, or `null` if no duration is used
Returns:
  event settings object for further configuration, not `null`

### with

public abstract EventSettings with(String name, String value)
Sets a setting value for the event that is associated with this event setting.

Parameters:
  `name` - the name of the setting (for example, `"threshold"`)
  `value` - the value to set (for example `"20 ms"` not `null`)
Returns:
  event settings object for further configuration, not `null`
