Developer Dashboard in SharePoint 2013


Developer Dashboard in SharePoint 2013 improved to provide more information in more accurate way to track and debug issues with page rendering time.
  • Running in separate window to avoid affecting rendering of actual page
  • Detailed request information per page with chant view
  • Dedicated tab for ULS log entries for particular request
  • Additional detailed information included for request analyzing
  • Works by using dedicated WCF service (diagnosticsdata.svc)
  • You can enable (On) it or disable it (Off) by using  Powershell [Ondemand option is deprecated in SharePoint 2013]
  • Turn Off by default
  • Depends on "Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application" so make sure this service is created [Make sure Its job Timers are running]
