Ability to View Function Drilldowns Aggregated Runs

[JohanTan]

It is a feature that the oldest XHProf GUI has and is very useful. So far the url.php page is pretty useful. But it would be nicer to have the view of aggregated time and memory use from either all runs in the same day for a particular url, or the ones that user selected. Would that be possible?

You can currentlylimit the url view by date range. I'll have to look at how the original aggregated drilldown was done. I missed seeing that feature whn looking at the other project.

This is definitely a must-have. When using ajax-based apps I'm currently unable to have a look at the page load as a whole as it does gather data from different paths. Reusing the view used for selecting a run for comparison would be a good start.

It couldn't simply be a re-use of existing code though. As a number of features can't be re-used:

• Symbol links can't be generated as multiple runs could have the same symbol called.
• Callgraphs can't be generated as there could be N unique requests.

If this is a must-have it will either need some more clarification around how it is supposed to work. I'll take a look at how the original xhprof implemented this, but I don't simply re-using what we have will work well.

I wasn't talking about re-using the code, just the view to select the runs that should be aggregated. And an accumulated callgraph is what I'm really keen about.
