Distinguish point events from ongoing events in metrics timeline
The metrics timeline does not distinguish entries that represent a single point in time from those that started but have not finished yet. They both are represented by a non-empty start date
column and an empty end date
column. For example (some columns omitted):
=start date = | =end date = | =description = |
---|---|---|
2017-10-05 | geoip database updated. | |
2017-10-07 | Increase of users in Romania. |
We need to disambiguate these two cases for the sake of uses like #24260 (moved), which wants to present date ranges as text.
