Glow Plug Idiot Light Question

good afternoon everyone,

so last night i started up the SD and I noticed that the glow plug idiot light didnt stay on as long as it usually does. It stayed on for maybe one-two seconds if not less. The SD had a rough time starting, I had to drop the pedal to the floor to keep it from choking out...i cant remember if the idiot light means the plugs are on when it is on and off when it is off or if its just a timed light...im forgetting how the glow plugs exactly work in the SD

So does this mean anything bad/good/otherwise?

Thanks,

Kris
