Tree view in trace entries overview

[rolandkool]

Hi,

Currently, the trace entries may contain (depending on your app ofcourse) 100s of lines. Would it be possible to support a tree view there as well to get a better overview of the flow. Indentation size should be based on time it takes to process the call/trace entry.
The async calls could be tricky.
The pinpoint APM (https://github.com/naver/pinpoint) does a nice job of creating such a timeline.

Hi, thanks for the submitting this. I'm trying out some UI options locally. What do you think of something like this? (with hover over on the bars for exact timing info)

Hi, that overview looks better yes. In this example you can quickly see what is taking time, so that is good.
Our main app uses a lot of Async calls, how would these show up in such a flow diagram?
If it is possible to put this trace overview behind a configuration option in the code, I can check it out against our application and provide some better feedback.
Thanks.

That would be great. I'll post back, should be able to push something to master in another day that you can try out.

This new graphical view is what made me notice #79 :-)
