What is a PFTRACE file?

A PFTRACE file is a system trace file created by an Android device running Android 12 or later. It contains a report about a high memory pressure event the device experienced. You can view PFTRACE files' contents in Perfetto.

More Information

Android 10 and later versions use a system tracing tool called Perfetto to perform and record traces. Android 12 and later versions use a Perfetto sub-component called mm_events to record memory-related statistics when a device experiences memory pressure.

Mm_events saves memory pressure event statistics in PFTRACE files. Specifically, mm_events saves these statistics in a file named systrace.pftrace, which is located in the following directory:

FS/​data/​misc/​perfetto-traces/​bugreport

Common PFTRACE Filenames
