startup.timeline.clock_ticks_per_second | counter | The number of clock tick time units that occur in one second on this particular device. This value is expected to be used in conjunction with the framework_start metric. |
1 | 2020-07-15 | |

This is calculated from appInitTimestamp - processStartTimestamp . processStartTimestamp is derived from the clock tick time unit, which is expected to be less granular than nanoseconds. Therefore, we convert and round our timestamps to clock ticks before computing the difference and convert back to nanoseconds to report. For debugging purposes, clock_ticks_per_second , which may vary between devices, is also reported as a metric |
1 | 2020-07-15 | |
startup.timeline.framework_start_error | boolean | An error when attempting to record framework_start - the application init timestamp returned a negative value - which is likely indicative of a bug in the implementation. |
