Maybe I'm missing something, but... Why not just grab the system
date/time at the start, again at the end, then subtract one
How do I know the end? The clients are constantly feeding data to
hobbitd_channel and they may not be coming
in sequential order. I may receive data from one host twice who is right
next to hobbit server before I receive
client data for another host which is in different country
Looking at the ssmodule sample program, I think I would pick up the start
and end time in the 'processmessage' routine. The hostname gets passed
through to that routine, so you could log a timestamp, the hostname and the
duration for each host.
But that won't still tell the completion of first round of all hosts or if
any hosts' data been feed more than once while another host data has not
arrived yet
I am guessing using clientlog to pull the data would be simpler. That will
give me definite answer of how long it took to collect data of each host (in
miliseconds) and how long it took to rotate through
all the hosts.
I wish I could get those info from this server side perl script, but I doubt
that is logically possible
given this scenario.
