Time Tracking Logs #
Detailed Logging and Debugging for Time Tracking #
The system provides comprehensive logging capabilities for time tracking operations:
Tracker Service Logging:
- Dedicated tracker logging channel for all time tracking operations
- Detailed logging of time interval creation, continuation, and completion
- Error logging with context information for debugging time tracking issues
- Comprehensive log data includes interval IDs, user IDs, project IDs, and task associations
- Time Interval Events: Start, continue, and finish operations with timestamps
- User Context: User ID and associated project assignments
- Project Context: Project ID and task-specific tracking information
- Tracking Type: Distinction between START, CONTINUE, FINISH, and AUTO operations
- Notes and Context: Associated notes and additional tracking context
- Failed time interval creation attempts with detailed error context
- Invalid tracking type operations and parameter validation failures
- Time limit exceeded exceptions with user and project information
- Database transaction failures during time tracking operations
- Chronological tracking of all time tracking activities
- Performance monitoring for time tracking operations
- Exception tracking with full context for troubleshooting
- Integration with system-wide logging infrastructure
- Automatic detection of time interval overlaps for the same user and project
- Validation prevents creating conflicting time entries during manual time entry
- Real-time conflict checking during time interval creation
- Database-level constraints ensure time sequence logic
- 24-hour daily maximum time limit enforcement
- Validation calculates total daily time before allowing new entries
- Prevents unrealistic time tracking that exceeds available hours
- Timezone-aware calculations for accurate daily limit enforcement
- Manual date entries restricted to current date and earlier
- Future date prevention for time tracking entries
- Start time must precede end time validation
- Timezone consistency validation across time entries
- Users must be assigned to projects before tracking time
- Project membership verification during time tracking initiation
- Team isolation ensures users only track time on accessible projects
- Real-time project assignment checking during desktop app synchronization
- MINIMUM_INTERVAL_MINUTES = 10 enforced across all time tracking
- Consistent application for both desktop app and manual time entry
- Automatic adjustment of intervals that don’t meet minimum requirements
- System-wide constant ensures consistent time tracking standards
- Time intervals exceeding minimum duration automatically set to 10-minute minimum
- Desktop app intervals automatically closed after minimum duration when switching projects
- Manual time entries validated against minimum duration requirements
- Incomplete intervals updated to meet minimum standards during system maintenance
- Continue operations respect minimum interval requirements
- Previous intervals adjusted to minimum duration when starting new tracking
- Automatic calculation ensures previous work gets credited with minimum time
- Time tracking transitions maintain interval integrity
- Minimum intervals prevent database pollution with micro-intervals
- Ensures meaningful time tracking data for reporting and analysis
- Reduces system overhead from processing numerous tiny intervals
- Maintains data quality standards for client billing and team analytics
