INSTALL

You must have the following installed as prerequisites for running Edda.

• Pip:

  http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html#

• MongoDB (which you should do anyway because it is awesome)

  see http://www.mongodb.org/downloads

• Install a non-text-based browser

  We recommend Google Chrome or Firefox.

• Install Edda:

  $ pip install edda

RUN

Give the log files from your servers as command-line arguments to the visualizer:

$ python edda/run_edda.py --options filename1 filename2 ...
(see python run_edda.py --help for options)

Edda can read in multiple log files at once.

After each run, edda generates a '.json' file that contains all of the information required to recreate the current run. Run the '.json' file just as you would a '.log'.

NOTE: please only give log files from the same server cluster!

There are some sample log files in edda/sample_logs you can run if you don't have any log files of your own yet.
