it true can use standalone collector record intellitrace logs in production environment. however, these logs not contain information cpu/memory usage (actually itrace files contain information method calls).

it means if open itrace file recorded in production environment in visual studio see list of recorded diagnostic events , call tree (if intellitrace configured collect call information). diagnostic tool window not available. if try open following error message reported:

the diagnostic tools window not support current debugging configuration.

if want use visual studio 2015 diagnostic tools analyse cpu/memory usage in production may interested in using profiling tools command-line. however, haven't tried approach don't know if convenient. second problem might licensing. i'm not sure if these command line tools can used without installing vs.
