Improved: Developer Dashboard in SP2013
Michael Carey
- One minute read - 134 wordsThe developer dashboard was a great new feature when SP2010 was released, and now with SP2013 it has been further improved, with the key changes being:
-
The Dashboard now appears in a separate window - it isn’t rendered out at the bottom of the page you are diagnosing any more.
-
Cumulative page requests are shown, instead of just the last request. This certainly helps in SP2013 given the use of Minimal Download Strategy (MDS).
-
The execution Plan of SharePoint stored procedures can now be viewed.
-
The dashbaord is implemented as separate WCF service named diagnosticsdata.svc
-
ULS Logs can be viewed through the browser (rather than opening the logs in ULSViewer or Wordpad) - but this should still be done from the server for security reasons
-
The Dashboard can now be extended with Javascript :)
