I'm using Get-WMIObject, which can take quite a long time, depending on what exactly I want to get.
Sadly this doesn't show its progress by default.
Is there a way to get the actual internal progress of Get-WMIObject? (e.g. the percentage so one can calculate the expected time it will take)
Or is it just impossible to predict the duration of the execution?
Have not found anything in the web about it.

Is there any way one can know the time remaining until Anylogic model completes it's execution in real time using traceln.
I am trying to trigger an anylogic model jar file using vba & want to show a progress bar displaying the Progress of experiment & time remaining until model execution is completed.
I think you want to know the real time that the model execution will take and us that to show a progress bar.
Felipe showed how to calculate the simulation time based on starttime and endtime set in the sim experiment and the current simulation time.
I don't think there is an easy way to do what you want. based on trial and error you could insert some traceln inside your model and use that to time the progress bar. Though it would change based on your inputs. Even the progress bars you see on microsoft apps / installations are not too accurate so thats never easy.
double remaingTimeSeconds=getEngine().getStopTime(SECOND)-time(SECOND);
traceln(remaingTimeSeconds);
in a more general way, if your model doesnt start at t=0, then you can do the following to get the remaing progress:
double totalSimTimeSeconds=getEngine().getStopTime(SECOND)-getEngine().getStartTime(SECOND);
double timeSinceStartSeconds=time(SECOND)-getEngine().getStartTime(SECOND);
double remaingingTimeSeconds=totalSimTimeSeconds-timeSinceStartSeconds;
double fractionRemaining=remaingingTimeSeconds/totalSimTimeSeconds;
traceln(fractionRemaining*100+"%");
I'm building a Grafana dashboard with some Stat panels that show average, minimum, and maximum time values (see below) for specific fields in my database. I'm storing the data in seconds and setting the value's units to seconds after which the panel displays the time in weeks, days, hours, etc. For the sake of consistency, I would like everything to be shown in days but I haven't been able to find a way to force units for the output value. If it's possible to do this, could someone please point me to some docs, or something that could show me which configurations to make in my panels?
So far, I've tried (without success):
Configure each panel to use units of days
The result of this was that everything showed up in years, etc.
Configure each panel to create a new field by performing a binary calculation where I converted from seconds to days and then I updated the units to be days
The result was that the values were not changed at all -> instead of showing X days, or whatever, it just showed the value in seconds without the units. I'm not sure what I messed up there, but it didn’t change anything.
I found this link that discusses setting a time range for queries
This didn’t end up being useful for what I was trying to do because it was actually geared towards changing the query to a specific date range rather than the output.
I looked through the transformations documentation, stat panel documentation, and a few other panel documentation pages in an effort to see if there was any information on how to do it but I was unable to find anything on forcing the output value to use a specific unit.
Edit:
So I kept messing around with the dashboard and got a solution that works - i.e. it's a "good-enough" solution (see below) - but, now, I'm curious if it's possible to show the units along with the value without it converting it to some other unit. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
One thing to note is that the data for this image is different than the data for the previous one so I'm expecting an inexact conversion to days.
You can use a custom unit. It is a bit tricky to enter the unit in the UI because of the automatic selection but if you enter i.e. "days" (without the quotes) in the Unit field ans instead of leving the field with tab or mouse click use the scrollbar of the combobox and select the last entry "Custom Unit: days".
Hope it helps. And for the record: I am using Garafana 7.1.4
I have a JMeter project with multiple GET and POST requests and assertions for these. I use Aggregate results and View results tree listeners, but none of these can store results on hourly basis. I tried JMeterPlugins-Standard and JMeterPlugins-Extras packages and jp#gc - Graphs Generator listener, but all of them use aggregated data instead of hourly data. So I would like to get number of successful and failed requests/assertions per hour, maybe a bar chart would be most suitable for this purpose.
I'm going to suggest a non-conventional design-level solution: name your samplers dynamically with hour (or date and hour), so that each hour the name will change, and thus they will appear in different category, i.e.:
The code for such name is:
${__time(dd:hh,)} the rest of sampler name
Such sampler will appear in the following way in Aggregate Report (here I simulated it with minutes/seconds, but same will happen with days/hours, just on larger scale):
Pros and cons of such approach:
Simple, you can aggregate anything by hour, minute, or any other time slice while test is running, and not by analysis after execution.
Not listener-dependant, can be used with pretty much any listener or visualizer
If you want to also have overall stats, it will require to sum up every sub-category. So it alters data, but in the way that it can still can be added back to original relatively easy.
Calculating __time before every sampler will not be unnoticed completely from performance perspective, but I don't think it will add visible overhead to a script.
You could get the same data by properly aggregating JTL or CSV (whichever you use) after execution, so it doesn't provide you with anything that is not possible to achieve using standard methods
Script needs altering to make this happen. if you have 100s of samplers, it's going to take a while. And if you want to change back...
You might want to use Filter Results Tool which has --start-offset and --end-offset parameters, you can "cut" your results file into "interesting" pieces and plot them according to your requirements.
You can install Filter Results Tool using JMeter Plugins Manager
Also be aware that according to JMeter Best Practices you should
Use as few Listeners as possible; if using the -l flag as above they can all be deleted or disabled.
Don't use "View Results Tree" or "View Results in Table" listeners during the load test, use them only during scripting phase to debug your scripts.
You can get whatever information you need from the .jtl results file, you can specify test results location via -l command-line argument
To get summarized results per hour add to your test plan Generate Summary Results:
Generates a summary of the test run so far to the log file and/or standard output
Update interval in jmeter.properties to your needs ,1 hour, 3600 seconds:
summariser.interval=3600
You will get summary per hour of your requests.
You can try with Jmeter backend Listener. It has integration with graphite and Influxdb. After storing the results in these time series database you can display the result in Grafana dashboard. Grafana has its own filtering of showing the results in hourly, monthly, daily basis and so on.
Central to a project I'm working on is a highlighting-mechanic that can be applied to certain items on the website. The idea is, that this highlighted-status is only active for a certain amount of time.
I'm trying to find the most performant way to achieve this (in querying, setting status, checking status and revoking it)
A first approach would be to set simply set a value 'highlighted:true' to the item. This seems to be the most performant way to query for highlighted items. The Drawback I see here, is that there also needs to be stored a date for the highlighting-action, but furthermore there needs to run an interval to check on the highlighted items and potentially revoke their highlighted status. Also the exact moment when the item stops beeing highlighted can't be determined exactly, since its depending on the interval of the check-function.
A second approach would be to mainly store the date of the highlighting-action and run the query against it. It seems that the query of highlighted objects is way less performant, since every item ever is beeing checked, and on top its not just a boolean, but a proper function that throws those differnt date-values around to check if it is still valid. On the upside there is no external cleanup-function neccessary and every highlighting period ends perfectly on time.
Would love to have your input on this. Is there maybe a clever pattern on this?
I have a Matlab code (from a journal paper) and I'm trying to re-simulate their data.
I executed the code one week ago. I think the code is taking so long time to run. Matlab is still busy and taking 50% of my cpu.
I was wondering if the process has ended with some errors somewhere in the code. My question is:
When I see no errors, can I be sure that everything is fine with this running process? And I can wait until it is finished?
Is there any way to check which part of code is being run now ( without stopping the execution)?
Or I should stop the program and try something else?
Actually I don't want to loose this 1 week and if you think everything is fine, I would wait until the code stops.
(The authors of the paper didn't reply to my question and I don't know how long should it naturally take... They just mentioned it may take a long time to simulate the data).
Unfortunately, there is little we can do for you.
When I see no errors, can I be sure that everything is fine with this running process?
That's pretty much the definition of an error. If no error is raised, then it means that the program is still running.
Is there any way to check which part of code is being run now (without stopping the execution)?
Unfortunately no. For long-lasting execution times like that, a good developing practice is to display some information from time to time to inform the end user of the execution status.
However, if the programs produces files all along the way (like for instance at every step in an iterative simulation) you can check on your computer that the files are well-produced, and the production rate will more or less inform you on the total execution time.
For all your other questions, well, it's up to you to decide what to do (stop it or let it run). Be aware that the execution time can differ significantly from one machine to another, so the time it took on the author's machine may not be really informative to you.
In the future, I would advise you to react faster than within a week. When you launch a code that has a long execution time and see that there is no display within the first hour, you should stop it, modify it such that it regulatly displays information, and re-run it. It's better to loose one hour than one week.
Best,
