overarching goal

2018/Data Project

dashboards

current status: resolved to use mongodb

next step goals:

• run mongodb query in javascript
• collect more data
• visualize data for single chart/single time series with D3
• visualize more data using Grafana

toy problem:

• use instrumented traveling salesman problem (or rubiks cube code, or some other project euler code)
• proof of concept use of monitoring
• greenfield deployment of netdata

goal:

• understand/monitor/understand large complex systems
• minimize time to set up database, add metrics, visualize, gain insight, repeat

toy problem:

• instrumented TSP or other

toy problem goal

instrument a TSP problem code, show a proof of concept of what we want to be able to record/measure/visualize

focus on greenfield deployments - install netdata, collect stats, visualize them

maintenance and monitoring scripts

rojo:

• set up script to pull latest wiki edit data
• subprocess
• pull update theme
• pull update charlesreid1.com
• pelican content
• copy to htdocs (use rsync)

jupiter:

• set up script to regenerate wiki edit data
• subprocess
• push update charlesreid1.com

back burner

networking

monitoring hardware

• network tap/switch
• wired router

new router:

• website with database of embedded dev boards: board-db.org
• Banana Pi R2 is designed with built-in switch hardware, so it's intended to be used as a Raspberry Pi for home routers, of sorts. Long term, this would be a good hardware platform.
• Banana Pi R2 Link: [1]

data streams

data streams:

• sensor data from a physical sensor (raspberry pi, gpio, radio, sdr)
• rojo/jupiter log data
• network log info from bro
• twitter/news scraping

interactive dashboards:

• glue between command-line scripts and visual graphs
• don't worry about "live" ajax refreshing - just focus on analytics and visualization

complete

data store (db)

the database is the central thread for everything.

get a database solution up and running over the management lan.

minimize friction and time to bring up/explore/check new collection.

Note: minimizing friction mainly just comes down to (a) getting it running, thank you very much docker, and (b) familiarity with syntax. everything else is pretty seamless.

completed data streams

completed data streams:

• wiki data - historical evolution, graph analysis https://charlesreid1.com:3000/wiki/charlesreid1-wiki-data
• rojo/jupiter/maya/cronus hardware status - collectd, netdata Graphite  · https://charlesreid1.com:3000/docker/d-graphite

We're not using Collectd anymore, we're using Netdata

Docker/System Stats is a possible solution to collectd

wiki visualization

visualizations:

• calendar of edits
• calendar of character counts of edits
