[SOLVED] How can I grep Intellij's build time notifications - which log file has these?

Issue

Can anyone help me figure out how to obtain a list of logged build times from Intellij? A search on the web and in S.O. didn't enlighten.

My intellij IDEa reports java project build times in the Event Log window like so:

Build completed successfully with 1,750 warnings in 5 min, 20 sec

I wanted to grep these notifications to see how my build times have evolved recently (e.g. to see an improvement after excluding certain folders from the antivirus realtime scans).

I found these logfiles under JetBrains folders:

$ find /c/Users/myuser/AppData/*/JetBrains -type f -name \*log
/c/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2021.2/database-log/database.0.log
/c/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2021.2/log/build-log/build.log
/c/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2021.2/log/idea.log
/c/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/JetBrains/Toolbox/logs/toolbox.log
/c/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/JetBrains/Toolbox/statistics/events.log

But none of them contains the build time notifications.

Any tips appreciated, thanks in advance.

Solution

The same duration is printed in idea.log file as the following pattern:

2021-09-14 15:30:34,030 [105340589]   INFO - lij.compiler.impl.CompilerUtil -   COMPILATION FINISHED (BUILD PROCESS); Errors: 0; warnings: 0 took 4299 ms: 0 min 4sec
