Abstract
I was tasked by Graham Green at FNC, Inc. to design a web tool that is capable of visualizing log data that is produced by FNC’s many servers. These logs contain data that will warn Graham about web pages that are failing, servers that are experiencing heavy loads, and sundry other pieces of information, but the data is pure text, and each server has thousands of logs. A visual tool is needed to display necessary information about the data. Rather than make a graph for each individual purpose that might be needed, I built visualization tools that are customizable for every conceivable use of the data. The log data itself is taken from the server that created it, using a tool called nxlog. That data is then sent to a proprietary API, which stores the data in a Redis database. My visualizer reads data from this database and presents it in a visual format.
