Duration added to log

[dynasource]

duration should be added to the logs panel. This is extremely useful and should not be avaiable for performance only.

Duration of what?

[dynasource]

ahh, now I understand why it isnt in there. It can not be called "duration" because that would imply a duration of the specific logcategory in the message.

Lets call it something else: Time to Next Log (TTNL) or something else.

we have Yii::beginProfile() and Yii::endProfile() for that so you can measure timings for some parts of the app.

[dynasource]

I am aware of that, but this is a totally different way of performance optimization. Let me put it this way:
A) active optimization: implement Yii::beginProfile() and Yii::endProfile()
B) passive optimization: compare timeframes in log to see performance issues

@dynasource Does #54 somehow solve this?

[dynasource]

@Deele: you've create a JS solution? Why in Js ;)? If it computes the duration, it would solve this topic, but its rather unconventional to 'not' do this by PHP.

[Deele]

@dynasource Because, that is easier, and it works already. It is not precise, but allows to search faster when you have hundreds of log entries, and you want to find that one that causes 2 second loading time. Total time between logs does not match total time mentioned in header, that gives me hint, that to create trustful solution, would require through knowledge in debug module and Yii internals.

[dynasource]

well, I tried your solution. The JS looks OK, but durations are connected to the wrong lines, it should have an offset of -1.

Although its quite useful in the current form, I don't know if its logical from an architectural perspective. I would not expect a JS solution. Secondary, if Gridviews are applied with pagination, this solution wouldnt do.

[samdark]

Should be PHP-based.
