Vmstax – Build charts/graphs from vmstat log

Hi,

vmstax.png Learning Flex 3, i wanted to test the chart functionnalities. As a case study, i took the problematic of drawing charts from a vmstat log. At the end of your load tests, you have to build the charts. It may take  some times to do that with Word or OpenOffice and it is not one of my favorite task. So, i decided to make a littleapplication in Flex : you upload your vmstat log, the chars appears and you can export them as images.

    Very nice tool ! congratulations for the work !

    I will be perfect if it was possible to export as images only one chart, and not all the page.

    Just cool!!
    Do you plan to create any type of library to enable for user local charting ?

    No, it will be always as an online service.

    Very slick utility. I’m wondering though…am I doing something wrong? I uploaded a file that contained a weeks worth of 5 second snapshots taken every 15 minutes, BUT the charts don’t reflect these times when graphed. I understand there are no timestamps in the log file that I create using vmstat, so how would explain this lack of accuracy on the timeline axis of the graph to my managers?

    Very good utility. Much simpler to use than command line tools.
