Thanks for stopping by my question. I am writing to identify the best way to create a particular solution.
BACKGROUND:
I've a UNIX server running SunOS (which I'll refer to as tweetypi), which retrieves statistics (call volumes/response times) from many other servers and stores them as CSV files in the following format (the number don't mean anything in this sample):
Time, Num, <1sec, 1-2s, 2-3s, ... >10s, Avg
00-01, 43, , , , ,
01-02, , , , , 11 ,
02-03, , 45 , , 45 , ,
03-04, , , , , ,
04-05, , , 57 , , ,
05-06, , , , , ,
...
23-24, 10, , , , ,
Total, 10, 10 , 12 , 15 , 1 , 15
Having all of the server statistics means we can send them out in an Excel-openable format to partners upon request.
NEEDED:
I need to create a java (because I'm most familiar with it, and already have Java installed on tweetypi) front-end which:
- Is accessible from a browser/launchable as an application
- Collates the statistics in the CSV file and outputs them specific information in a graph
QUESTION:
What's the best way to go about this? Browser or app? Best Java libraries? Any other tips? Any potential roadblocks?
NOTE:
I know I could have researched this, but there's always the chance of missing out on a more elegant/better solution. Also, THANKS for taking the time to read this, and even more so for taking the time to answer it!
