Directory Server Log Analyzer 0.0.1.7 build 307 released

The 0.0.1.7 release of the OpenDS Directory Server Access Log Analyzer has been released at http://kenai.com/projects/dsla. This version is very minimalist, and only supports OpenDS access logs, has no persistent storage, and is probably as buggy as my back deck in summertime. It has been more or less tested with access logs from OpenDS 1.0 and 1.3 collected from some performance testing that was conducted in August 2008 and from interested users. This version reports:

• count of LDAP operations
• maximum etime
• minimum etime
• average etime
• number of occurrences of etimes
• added 'Entire File' section to view file detail
• added max etime 'Entire File'
• added min etime 'Entire File'
• added arithmetic mean of etimes 'Entire File'
• added geometric mean of etimes 'Entire File'
• added variance of etimes 'Entire File'
• added standard deviation of etimes 'Entire File'
• added code to choose the field width and precision of real numbers on the configuration screen.

If anyone has some access log files from any version of OpenDS, please send me some snippets so that my testing can continue.

Upload an OpenDS access file:

2008 Corporate Social Responsibility Report released

Somewhat belatedly, I know that Sun's 2008 Corporate Social Responsibility Report has been released. Far from the usual banal corporate communiques, this one has some interesting language and is a nice read.
