It's both harder for me to track a scrolling display of text moving in erratic bursts, and processing the information in each line than it is to take a quick glance at a screen and see if there are many small dots or few large ones.
Interesting idea. Shouldn't be too hard to try something like that, I already have some code in there doing something similar meant for incoming emails, uploads and other data going into the servers/sites.
Try adding:type => 5 to the URL activities for an example.

A lot of my time at work is spent looking at logfiles from webservers, applications servers, and databases looking for things about to break down, but after I introduced this I just need to glance at a screen to instantly see if some server has stopped answering, is taking too long to answer, or is generating way more exceptions than normal.
I also add an event (the login text bouncing down the screen in the movie) on each money generating activity, which always amazes marketing people when they walk by.
Not sure why it stopped for you, I've had it running throughout a slashdotting without any problems at all. Peaked at 3500 req/min and still spewed dots from all the correct places at 30 fps.
Sure it can. You'd just need to send the sudo-command line, and send the password if you got a password prompt in return. Or you could just let other users read the access log for a while, so see how it looks before you decide if this is something you'd like to try.
Anything put into a logfile could be parsed and shown. I've tried with emails, shoutcast listeners and server logins, but they're not as interesting to show in the movie as I don't have the kind of traffic to make it useful.
Just thought I'd mention that ClockingIT is open-source as well (MIT/X11) so you're free to do whatever you want with it. It's quite stable, and under active development.
It's been developed by me, so let me know if you feel something is missing or could be done better.
Using Juggernaut for Rails you can also achieve this with a small Flash applet acting as a bridge. Have a look at http://www.clockingit.com/comet.html for a small screencast demonstrating how this can work.
I already pay for internet access; why would I want to, or should I have to, pay for something which is currently free?
Late 2001 we made Planetarion.com a pay to play service, having earlier been a free ad-based game. Have a look at some of the replies and responses I got during that time. Lots of well thought out and original reasons why people should continue to play the game for free. We charged $10 for one round of the game (about 3 months) with unlimited usage and support.
Small warning: Don't read the replies if you mind the occational swear-word.:-)
Oh, you mean httpd.conf-dist, access.conf-dist, magic-dist, mime.types-dist, srm.conf-dist, and apache.sh-dist? Look at the makefile for the port if you still think it hoses your config files.
None of the Apache ports touch your config files if they differ from the -dist installed files.
Most FreeBSD ports install config files with a -dist extension so they don't trash your config.

Is available at the site.
The next version will have an auto-fallback to this function if the exception is raised.
- The parser you've chosen is unable to parse the log due to a wrong logfile format
- You've failed to enter the path to the logfile correctly
- net-ssh is failing to let you know about some problem with logging in
Enable session_options[:verbose] =Ah, finally someone else with this error. Been bugging me, and the person that reported it didn't mention running 64bit. That could be it. -- Erlend
It's not hard, and quite a few have been able to get it running on Linux, OS X and Windows. FreeBSD is still a no-go.
Grab the divx version of the movie, then.
You're correct, and I will be adressing this in the next version. It's currently limited to 1000/FPS per second.

A basic Postfix parser cooked up and introduced in v0.02. Also includes a simple IIS parser. More refined parsing of postfix will come. :-)

Ah. I turned that off in '00 and forgot all about it. Sorry. :-)
At work I show about 30 logfiles, divided across 10 different servers running at 50+ FPS on an old Centrino laptop with a GeForce 5xxx mobile.
Shouldn't be too hard. I'll cook one up this evening.
http://www.fudgie.org/slashdotted.jpg for how that looks.
Still running at 30 fps with ~25 requests / second.

.. and how does portupgrade delete a port? By using the ports own 'make deinstall', which leaves your config files in place.
I just did a portupgrade -f apache, and lookie here:My config wasn't touched. Maybe it happened earlier, but I've never had a problem the last year or so.Oh, you mean httpd.conf-dist, access.conf-dist, magic-dist, mime.types-dist, srm.conf-dist, and apache.sh-dist?
