easiest way to log and save basic GPU stats in Unreal Engine?

Question

I need to log the basic GPU stats (computation times) in a file while testing in the unreal engine editor so that I can analize them afterwards. What would be the easiest way of doing that? I'm using UE 5.1

• no preference for blueprint, the solution can employ blueprint or not.
• I don't need to log the synchronized events (it is ok if they are added too, i just dont have to have them). I just need the plain basic stats as time goes by.

Any constructive feedback is appreciated. Cheers!

Unreal ships with a powerful profiler called Unreal Insights, which can be used to record and analyze GPU processes as well. It is a standalone tool which you can attach to your Editor session when testing.

You can find it at Engine/Binaries/Win64/UnrealInsights.exe (relative to engine install directory). It saves data to Engine/Programs/UnrealInsights/Saved/TraceSessions (also relative to engine install dir).

Here is an in-depth documentation.
