I think it's useful to split the data out seperately for debugging purposes, not clear to me that the user is interested in the break down. Advanced performance tuning will definitely want to observe the data as well as users looking to debug issues. I don't see the harm in adding additional information. > > -- > To view, visit http://gerrit.ovirt.org/7718 > To unsubscribe, visit http://gerrit.ovirt.org/settings > > Gerrit-MessageType: comment > Gerrit-Change-Id: I663ad25ff3ff5ce426b5159b6c9a65b7f5167605 > Gerrit-PatchSet: 1 > Gerrit-Project: vdsm > Gerrit-Branch: master > Gerrit-Owner: Laszlo Hornyak <lhorn...@redhat.com> > Gerrit-Reviewer: Dan Kenigsberg <dan...@redhat.com> > Gerrit-Reviewer: Gal Hammer <gham...@redhat.com> > Gerrit-Reviewer: Laszlo Hornyak <lhorn...@redhat.com> > Gerrit-Reviewer: Mark Wu <wu...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> > Gerrit-Reviewer: Royce Lv <lvro...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> > Gerrit-Reviewer: oVirt Jenkins CI Server > _______________________________________________ > vdsm-patches mailing list > vdsm-patc...@lists.fedorahosted.org > https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/vdsm-patches -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx ry...@us.ibm.com _______________________________________________ vdsm-devel mailing list vdsm-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/vdsm-devel
