Installation

The library is header-only. Just drop the servertiming.hpp in your project and use it. You'll need a modern C++11 compatible compiler though.

Usage

#include "servertiming.hpp"

ServerTiming timing();
timing.startTimer("Database Query");

// ... do something work-intensive

timing.stopTimer("Database Query");

// you can also add metrics without the timer function
// the time value is always in milliseconds!
timing.addMetric("Image Processing", 12365)

// ... use the header string within your server framework or whatever
std::string header = timing.generateHeader();

// this will output:
// database-query;dur=0.122;desc="Database Query",image-processing;dur=12.365;desc="Image Processing"
