Message Plot

The Message Plot area of the Memento GUI gives a time plot representing a set of traces.

Horizontal Axis

The horizontal axis of the message plot represents the time. The axis has a variable scale with adaptive major and minor divisions.

Vertical Axis

The vertical axis of the message plot represents the verbosity level: the traces are represented according to their verbosity level on the various horizontal lines displayed in the message plot.

●

Traces with the highest verbosity level (Verbose) - the least critical - are represented on the first level from the bottom.

●

Traces with the lowest verbosity level (Critical) - the most critical - are represented on the seventh level from the bottom.

Trace Symbols

A trace is represented by the symbol =. The symbol color matches the background color settings defined in the default Memento Rules (rules 2 to 7).

The portion of the message plot represented below shows:

●

First several Debug traces (2nd level from bottom) and Info traces (3rd level from bottom) have been issued at the same time as an Error trace in red (6th level from bottom).

●

Straight after these traces, a Debug and Info traces were issued at the same time as a Warning trace in orange (5th level from the bottom).
