Event Tracker

Event overview

Event Tracker allows you to view detailed information such as argument information of tracked events/functions as well as what frames are monitoring specific event. For functions tracked it will also provide information on the time spent on execution functions (on a call per call base as well as the total execution time).

See the EventTracker blogpage @ http://fmeus.wordpress.com/eventtracker/ for more information on the usage of Event Tracker and the API to track your own functions.

To tell Event Tracker which standard WoW events to track for now you need to update the file EventTracker_events.lua yourself. The following is an example of how the contents of the file may look like.

--[[ =================================================================
    Description:
        Use this file to specify which events need to be tracked.
    ================================================================= --]]

-- Events to be tracked
    ET_TRACKED_EVENTS = {
        "PLAYER_LEVEL_UP",
        "PLAYER_XP_UPDATE",
        "PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED",
    };

Be careful to specify only valid events. Event Tracker uses the function GetFramesRegisteredForEvent, which will cause WoW to hard crash when it is being called with a non-existing event.

The following slash commands are available
