Marlowe APM Visualization Tool
This is a Sinatra app used to present page event data in different charts using D3. It's meant to be a simple platform for exploring Application Performance Management (APM) data with experimental visualizations and animations. I welcome contributions.
Requirements
- Ruby 2.1.1
- Smattering of ruby gems, including Sinatra, Rack
Running the Tool
- git clone https://github.com/newrelic/marlowe.git
- bundle install
- rackup
Adding your own dataset
Just add json files to the data directory using the following format:
[
[ "timestamp", "transaction", "frontend", "backend"],
[1368817694170, "Controller/applications/show", 2599.0, 1067.0],
[1368817694231, "Controller/public_access/charts/show", 277.0, 166.0],
[1368817694240, "Controller/applications/index", 1517.0, 983.0],
[1368817694260, "Controller/traced_errors/index", 1188.0, 725.0],
....
The columns can be in any order, but must include timestamp, transaction and one of
frontend or backend. They can include additional per-event dimensions which may be
utilized in some experiments as alternatives to transaction.
For details on the format, refer to the readme.md file in the data directory.
