Summary0011057: Please add code to measure the timing of submit.php calls
DescriptionIdeally, in async submission mode (when $CDASH_ASYNCHRONOUS_SUBMISSION = true;), we could measure the time that the first submit.php call takes (when simply writing the submission to a file) and record it somewhere for later retrieval, and then also measure the time that the later processing submit.php call takes and record it too.

The goal is to know how much time submit.php takes in both cases, the receiving a file path and the "processing a file and adding database entries" path, and then compare them. The difference is the amount of time that you are saving on the submitting clients by having async mode.

The Trilinos project would like to know this data...

No, it's not. The submission table contains started and finished fields, the difference of which tell us how long it took to process a given xml file, but there is nothing recorded that tells us how long a given call to submit.php takes. And in the non-async case (still the default?) there are no submission table entries, and so, there is nothing recorded about processing time in the synchronous processing case. (The 'insert into submission' call is only made from the do_submit_asynchronous function...)

Maybe there's a good external way to measure timing of submit.php calls? (i.e. -- without modifying the cdash source code... perhaps a monitoring tool of some sort, or apache log analysis...?)
