My Little Side Project: Telemetry

A few years back I wrote an app for tracking the various numbers and values that are prevalent in a datacenter. This app tracked the vitals of all kinds of doodads. It was a glorified visualization tool. I used various bits from CPAN but eventually got fed up and decided that I needed to roll my own charting code. What I made worked well enough but was not generic enough to ever release to the world. Recently I started from scratch and made Clicker. With that piece in place it was time to visit the idea of remaking that old favorite app.

So in the spirit of 'early and often' I give the world Telemetry. Click the thumbnail to see a bigger shot. It uses Catalyst and Chart::Clicker.

Telemetry is simple a store for various 'readings' taken of a resource. You create a resource and send readings to it ad nauseum. Telemetry allows you visualize these readings. It's damned spiffy if I do say so myself.

The README included explains how to set things up. The sendreading program is used to put numbers into the system. The front page lists Resources you've added and clicking on them draws a chart (after you've got some data). The rest is pretty intuitive.

There are probably lots of things wrong with it. Stuff may not work. Feel free to drop me a line if necessary.
