      I find this plugin invaluable for checking for stuck builds or estimating time to finish. One improvement that would make a big difference would be to display the current time (or elapsed time as appropriate) on the last line.

      Currently if you are using "elapsed time" it's difficult to tell how long the build has been running for.

      It maybe that you can only filter the log and that this would be very tricky to implement and/or best implemented as a separate plugin in which case please close.

          [JENKINS-31168] display current elapsed time (and time since)

          Displaying the current time in the same format as the timestamps would be possible but complicated, because it would mean implementing the SimpleDateFormat and DurationFormatUtils code in JavaScript. I think that displaying something simple like the number of minutes since the last line was written to the log would be nice.
