Updates have been applied to snapper (data collector), snapsave (recorder) and snapmon (web based front end) to allow snapsave and snapmon to support multiple collectors.
New test data was generated, and it is now apparent that some summarisation of the data will have to take place, as the javascript widgets providing spreadsheet and charting will not perform to acceptable levels with 500 entries to manage!
Next actions:
1. Add summarisation
2. Make snapsave multi-threaded to support multiple data colelctor sources more effectively.
Cheers,
James

The front end has been modified to include updates to the report presentation:
-
Colour coding of the grid report to show which columns are chartable.
-
Charting support using Dojo. The charts are presented in a “dialog box” (another Dojo widget).
-
Tooltips have been applied to the report grid headers to provide a little (tiny) amount of explanation.
Things to focus on this week include:
- Support for multiple capture (snapper) engines delivering to a single data save (snapsave).
- Modifications to the report / viewer to support multiple (customer) database monitoring sources.
- Add the memory pool report for the instance, complete with charting.

The snapshot monitoring tool now has a data recording component for DBM snapshots that records the event and all of the details into a DB2 UDB database.
Work has started on a web-based front end (Apache / PHP / JScript) which includes user login and management and the initial tabular presentation of the snapshot data.
This will be extended this week to include some basic charting of the numeric columns using an open source JScript toolkit called Dojo, which seems to be gaining a lot of interest on the internet. This includes many “look and feel” aspects, but of particular interest is the tooltip, charting and dialog box functionality.
I hope to have a basic demonstration in place by the end of the week.
Cheers,
James
