Milestone Inter event time

Hello,

I would like to know the best way to use a Milestone Collector to get the inter-time betweeen the same consecutive event.

For example, getting the time between each On Exit event of the same object.


I tried unsuccesfuly by adding a Condition that listens to a switch label on the object(1 or -1 on every exit). I was thinking of adding an additional column but I am unsure if that would be the best way.

Hello Andrés,

If I understand you correctly you want to graph just the time between on "onExit" and the next one.

Milestones are used to measure the time between two events genereted by the same item. Yours is not working because the item are different in each event.

The fastest way I can think to achieve this is to create a small processflow and measure the time for the token (it´s the same as the box):

If you want to skip the processFlow let me know and we can think to do it with statistic collectors instead of milestones.

Hi Julio, that is a great aproach I haven't consider and it worked as I wanted, Thank you.


I think it will still be interesting to explore the advanced options of the Milestone collector to see if it can be done directly.
