Hotspots help capture and log widget load times, which enables better debugging of long portal load times.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: sp_admin

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllService PortalWidget.
2. Click the custom widget you want to add the hotspot to.
3. Insert the following code snippets into the Server script field:  
   Define a start time below the loading configuration expression:

       var startTime = new GlideDateTime();

   Retrieve widget instance identifier:

       data.spInstanceId =
                                   grInstanceRecord.getUniqueValue();

   Add load time tracking:

       new sn_cd.cd_Utils().postInstanceHotspot({
       				startTime: startTime,
       				callerId: data.spInstanceId,
       				shortDesc: '{insert a short description}'
       		});

4. Click Update.
