1109343 - Browser timeline should be able to filter markers based on docshell

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Performance Tools (Profiler/Timeline), defect, P3)

Description

[Victor Porof [:vporof][:vp]]

I need this because:
* the netmonitor can be made faster
* I assume reflow/paints are the issue
* easiest way to test this is to open netmonitor, a browser timeline, hit reload and see what's happening

Currently, this doesn't work because the content and chrome (more specifically, our toolbox) markers are mixed up in the frontend. There's no way to filter between the two.

Let's assume I'm too lazy to use scratchpad to manipulate the netmonitor frontend myself.

I'm not sure to understand what you want exactly.

Markers are already scoped by a docshell. Except for paints, which include sub documents.

Moving into the Profiler component. Filter on GUTHRIE'S WAVY CAKES.

In the browser toolbox, you're seeing both markers from network panel rendering, as well as the content that the netmonitor is measuring?

I'm not sure if this is still relevant -- and if so, how does it relate to the marker changes you're working on? I suspect we can close this, but want to make sure.

Still an issue. As specified in comment 0, if the perf tool is opened in a browser toolbox, there's markers coming from everywhere, while I just want to focus on the ones coming from another toolbox, for example.

Triaging. Filter on ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC (yes).
