Determining the time elapsed between consecutive events
Sequence diagrams provide execution information in the form of causal
dependent events, which are log record interactions.
You can locate the exact point in the execution flow of your application
where a large amount of time elapsed between two consecutive events by using
these diagrams.
Follow these steps:
- To the left of the Sequence Diagram view, notice the vertical bar.
- Locate any red rectangle along its length. The position of the rectangle
on the bar corresponds horizontally to the event represented in the view. The
intensity of the red color of the rectangle corresponds to the amount of time
elapsed between the consecutive events.
- Double-click the red rectangle. All log records (represented in the view
by vertical outline bars) that are executing during this time period are
targeted, and the sections of those records that required that amount of time
to be completed are highlighted with the same red color. It is quite an
accurate indication since in many cases it will point to either part of a log
record, or the whole record.
