[Moose-dev] Re: dropping eyesee

Hi Doru, I can certainly give you some details. We have a number of internal services that handle a varying amount of load each month. We are concerned with keeping the services performing at an optimal level, and so need a way to track trending of the performance. We also noted in the past there there was a correspondence between volume of requests and response time, and so wanted to track that correlation as well. So, I periodically gathered this data, built charts on the data with commentary, and published it internally to relevant folks. I had set up an older process where I gathered all of this data and sucked it into Excel, manipulated it, and made acceptable graphs to look at the data in a glance. That is, until the latest Office upgrade, where I couldn't figure out how to combine graph types on a chart after several days of trying. I took this as an opportunity to explore eyesee (already being familiar with smalltalk) to see if I could get what I wanted. Turned out the answer was yes, and more that that besides. Here is an example: [image: Inline image 1] the bars are the volumes for the various service provider nodes (how much each is providing), the lines are response time (color relates to two). The thick black line is the overall average response time - over time. This chart is a combination of 9 separate sub-charts. It probably won't win any prizes for attractiveness, but I certainly find it useful. I will not be moving this off to the new GraphET2 - it works just fine as-is. That said, I expect any new requirements I have for charting, I will utilize GraphET2 and provide feedback/request (if needed).
