# LensBar walkthrough

Every tab of the bar on your own pages: timeline, queries, exceptions, HTTP, messages, timers, request, scopes, functions and runtime. Then the keys, the resize, the menu, the theme and the way into the console. Free.

## What it shows

1. **A health strip on every page**: Status, time, SQL and the request id.
2. **Timeline**: Every template, query and call as a waterfall.
3. **Queries**: The SQL, the time and where it was called from.
4. **Exceptions**: Even the ones your code caught.
5. **HTTP calls**: Outgoing calls, with the status and the time.
6. **Messages and timers**: What your page reported, and how long blocks took.
7. **Request and Scopes**: Headers, parameters and variables, secrets removed.
8. **Functions, runtime and your own panel**: BIFs, the JVM, and tabs added by modules.
9. **Keyboard first**: Ctrl + backtick, and the number keys.
10. **Make it yours**: Drag the edge to resize.
11. **The menu**: Detach, copy and the theme.
12. **One click into the console**: The same request, with everything around it.
