SSRS TimeRendering in ExecutionLog view

  • I've been trying to find any information on the TimeRendering column within the ExecutionLog view for SSRS.

    Does anyone know how TimeRendering is calculated? Is it from the time you click Export to Excel until the spreadsheet shows on your screen or......?

  • Philip,

    The rendering process in Report Server is the operations the report do to show the report content (paint report items, paint data, pagination,…) on the renderer selected (in this case Excel).

    If you set the RS logs to Verbose while you render the report you will get detailed information on all these steps, similiar to this:

    reportrendering!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:38:: v VERBOSE: RPL object model in use

    reportrendering!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:38:: v VERBOSE: We paginate the page: 1

    reportrendering!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:42:: v VERBOSE: We paginate the page: 2

    reportrendering!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:42:: v VERBOSE: We paginate the page: 3

    reportrendering!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:42:: v VERBOSE: We paginate the page: 4

    reportrendering!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:42:: v VERBOSE: We paginate the page: 5

    reportrendering!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:42:: v VERBOSE: RPL object model in use

    And these elements that although they point to the processing operation, it actually charges time on rendering gauge and other objects

    processing!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:44:: GaugeMapper; GaugePanel has been initialized; 3,9064; 3,9064

    processing!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:44:: GaugePaint; Starting Paint.; 448,2594; 444,353

    processing!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:44:: GaugePaint; Start rendering of static elements.; 506,8554; 58,596

    processing!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:44:: GaugePaint; Rendering of static elements complete.; 518,5746; 11,7192

    processing!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:44:: GaugePaint; Start rendering of dynamic elements.; 519,5512; 0

    processing!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:44:: GaugePaint; Rendering of dynamic elements complete.; 716,8244; 197,2732

    Finally the process ended with the page creation:

    reportrendering!ReportServer_0-2!bbc!10/14/2013-12:00:47:: v VERBOSE: PR-DIAG [Page 2] Page created by Vertical page break
