# Debugger Metric

Overview: This metric is potentially very useful. It keeps track of how much time the user spends in the debugger and what lines have break points on them. The information that could be gathered using this metric is very useful in working out what files are causing significant problems and what users are spending a lot of time debugging specific files.

To collect metric data:

1. Enable the process metrics plug in by selecting 'Online' or 'Offline' mode from the taskbar. The plug in will load.
2. Select the 'Log Changes' view from the window/show view/other/Artist Metrics taskbar.
3. Enable a breakpoint in the file. The 'Log Changes' GUI will display that a breakpoint has been enabled and list the line.
4. Disable a breakpoint in the file. The 'Log Changes' GUI will display the amount of time spent in the debugger and the line the break point has just been disabled from.
