Synchronizing time of log records for distributed applications

After any modification of delta time for log records that belong to a particular host, it is helpful to synchronize the time of these records to better facilitate sorting of such records in the Log view. This is also useful for accurate display of records in the Sequence Diagram Log Interactions view, especially when you correlate the log records on the basis of timestamp.

From the pop-up menu of the host in the Profiling Monitor view, select Properties. The Properties wizard opens.
In the Delta time field, enter the values for the hours, minutes and seconds of the delta time between the selected host and a reference host under the same monitor.
The delta time is added to all the records under the selected host in the Log view.
Select the monitor in the Profiling Monitor view. The Log view sorts all the log records by creationTime and sequenceNumber due to duplicated creationTime timestamps, with the delta time correction applied. This is the default sorting order.

Notes:

You must refresh the Sequence Diagram Log Interactions view for the delta time changes to be applied in it.
This option does not modify the original value of the creationTime nor sequenceNumber in the model.
