Log cumulative running time — log

This function is working like log_tictoc() but differs in that it continues to count up rather than resetting the timer at every call. You can set the start time using log_elapsed_start(), but if that hasn't been called it will show the time since the R session started.

log_elapsed(..., level = INFO, namespace = NA_character_)

log_elapsed_start(level = INFO, namespace = NA_character_, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

...: passed to log_level()
level: see log_levels()
namespace: x
quiet: Should starting the time emit a log message

Examples

log_elapsed_start()
#> INFO [2025-09-17 13:55:11] starting global timer
Sys.sleep(0.4)
log_elapsed("Tast 1")
#> INFO [2025-09-17 13:55:12] global timer 0.4 secs elapsed -- Tast 1
Sys.sleep(0.2)
log_elapsed("Task 2")
#> INFO [2025-09-17 13:55:12] global timer 0.61 secs elapsed -- Task 2
