Timestamps are not accurate enough for shell and desktop tracers #221

Closed rundong08 closed 11 months ago

rundong08 commented 11 months ago

Currently all timestamps are only accurate to the second. This may not be enough for the shell tracer since many commands finishes in less than 1 second and it may be confusing when sorting.

We need to improve the accuracy to at least milliseconds.

Recording your idea from our earlier discussion, we could add a timestamp into the event's outputs that records a higher-fidelity timestamp as a stop-gap measure.

225 fixed the timestamp for the tracers. Other events may still get less accurate timestamps, but currently accurate timestamps are not essential for other type of events.
