Actual time taken and timeout shown in transaction history
Dekker3D opened this issue · comments
Rationale
I would like to see the actual time your pc took to complete a task, as well as the requestor's timeout, on each transaction in the transaction history. It's already possible to find the actual time taken in golem.log, but it takes time to match it up with tasks. I don't know if timeout data is available to providers.
This feature would allow providers to get a better sense of the GNT/h paid by the market, as well as letting them see how much time their computer has actually spent working. In this context, it might also be nice to show the total time spent working in the past 24 hours somewhere below the transaction list.
(Adding a note here: your issue-submission process is very technically-oriented and might be intimidating for non-technical people submitting an issue)
Description
Functional specification
- What are the components of the required feature?
Time taken for a task/subtask is already available in golem.log. Task timeout might have to be transmitted to providers along with the actual task; I don't know if this is already done (probably) nor desirable. - What are the failure modes and how are they supposed to be handled?
Simply don't show any piece of this information that's not available at time time.
User Interface
Are user-facing changes required for this functionality?
- Description of user-facing behavior
Display timeout and total time taken for each task/subtask on the transaction matching that task/subtask in the transaction list.
Possibly add a total of task computing time at the bottom of the transaction list, maybe including a total of the timeouts and a percentage of task time / timeouts. - Changes to existing user interaction?
None - Screenshots?
Too lazy, suggestion seems obvious enough.
Technical specification
If required/possible, provide the detailed description of the required changes in the application
- Required changes to app's internal structures? Model updates? Model additions?
- Which application modules will be updated?
- Modification of e.g. message handlers?
- Replacement of modules?
- Refactoring?

QA
Description of the QA process for the feature
Test scenarios:
Base test process
specify one of: ( if unsure, consult @ZmijaWA or @ederenn )
** QA limited to the single feature (in case of very trivial changes)
** Smoke Test (the limited set of tests designed to ensure that most critical functionality doesn't experience regressions)
** Full Test (full set of tests for the whole application - in case of more extensive application updates, refactoring etc)
New feature tests

Possible regressions
- is there any functionality that is likely to experience regressions?
- are there any existing application components that should be tested more thoroughly?

Hey @Dekker3D, thank you for your request. You're absolutely right about issue template, maybe I should add an info for non-tech people. So they can remove technical parts if not needed. The sections are not mandatory but good to have :)
About the request; It's a nice idea, I will forward this to the team and let you know what we can do about it.
