Adding custom timers for monitoring

Use the Custom Timer application class to monitor the time taken to run a part of a script. For this purpose, you import the STMTimer module to your Python script. This module is available in the $PATROL_HOME/stm/bin directory.

Use the following syntax to start and end a custom timer:

For example, in the following code, we have added two custom timers: login and logout:

from selenium import webdriver
from STMTimer import STMTimer   

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
timer = STMTimer()
timer.start('login')
"""Login steps"""
timer.stop('login')
timer.start('logout')
"""Logout steps"""
timer.stop('logout')driver.quit

The custom timers names that you use in your script are shown on the PATROL Agent device page under the script execution plan instance: PATROL Agent device > Applications > Application name > Script execution plan name > Custom Timers > custom timer name.
