Oh, I didn't realise you wanted to know what I planned to *do* with the <br>
information - I thought you were just trying to understand exactly what <br>
information I need.<br>
<br>
So, to answer your question about why I need these timestamps, I have specific <br>
points throughout the dialplan where I need to know the current (accurate) <br>
timestamp, in order to collect statistics on the efficiency of different parts of <br>
the dialplan (basically, how long does *this* section take to complete, how <br>
long does *that* section take, etc).<br>
<br>
These timing values are then combined with similar timestamps from other parts <br>
of the system (which includes Asterisk, database lookups, and other external <br>
services) to give an overall measure of the performance of individual parts of <br>
the whole thing.<br>
<br>
Ultimately I do not intend to collect this quantity of data from production <br>
systems, but on development and test systems I need to be able to spot quickly <br>
when some part of what FreeSwitch is doing, or anything else we are collecting <br>
these timestamps from, changes (for better or for worse) in how long the <br>
processing takes.<br>
<br>
Does that answer your question sufficiently to be able to guide to me where I <br>
can find the current timestamp inside the dialplan?<br>
<br>
I didn't realise that this could be a complicated question, but perhaps the <br>
fact that I didn't find the answer easily indicates that it is?<br>
