First Gadget (Day 14)

A few days ago I "finished" my first WLCG monitoring gadget, although I use the term "finished" very loosely. More accurately my first proper attempt at a monitoring gadget had advanced to the stage at which it was usable and, if I was working with a full up to date data set not a small sample, it could potentially be useful. My original plan for this gadget and the gadget it's self are shown below.

[Embedded gadget removed (old gadget no longer functions, as data source has been updated)]

It is now my intention to continue developing this gadget into something much richer in features and options. Some of the features that have been suggested and that I would eventually like to incorporate in to the gadget include:
  • GridLoad style stacked charts.
  • A "League Table" (totaled over the time period).
  • Pie charts (of the "League Table").
  • Filters and/or sub filters (just successful jobs, just jobs by one VO, just jobs for this CE etc).
  • A tabbed interface.
  • Variable X-axis time-step granularity.
  • Variable Y-axis parameter (jobs submitted, jobs started, jobs finished etc).
  • Data export option.
A rough idea of what this might look like/how it might function is available here (not embedded as its a large file). Another suggested feature has been to replace the legend with coloured check boxes for even easier showing/hiding of trends, however the HTML check box object does not allow use of colours. As such this goal has been put on hold for now until the rest of the design has been implemented.
