Feature Request: Line timestamps

[vektah]

One of the few features I miss from Jenkins was from a plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Timestamper.

It prefixes to every line in the build output with a timestamp showing when that line was emitted. This helps to track down what in a build is running slowly. It was configurable to show time since build start (this was arguably most useful) or local timestamps.

Great suggestion, we'd love to see that in there too!

We've got something in the works that should give you this behaviour back @vektah - watch this space :)

@vektah if you upgrade to our latest agents, you'll now see group timing in the build output. Thanks for the idea!! ❤️

Closing this issue was, in fact, a lie. Group timing is not the same thing as line timing.

Let's just say that (like everyone in the entire world) I want to figure out which exact part of my build is the slowest. If I use Jenkins I can see precisely how long every single piece of my build takes. With BuildKite, this is apparently reaching for the moon.

@nello it wasn't meant as a lie at all. This is something we'd love to add, we just don't have it available yet. Group timings were first off the rank, and allowed us to show a bar graph in the right hand side of the header column too. I'll simply reopen this ticket and close the other as a dupe, as I'm sure @vektah probably wants to stay in the loop too.

Thanks Tim. Unnecessary grumpy on my behalf, but a pet peeve when people close issues that aren't really resolved.

Cheers for the update,
Nello

I hate to be that guy but can we 👍 on the ticket, rather than in a message? Everyone gets an email...

We've shipped this in v2.4 of the agent! If you run the agent with --timestamp-lines you'll see timestamps at the beginning of each log line. Thanks @stefanmb!

Thanks guys!
