[Swift-devel] Re: swift guts doc with many diagrams and graphs

[Alina Bejan]

Hi Ben,

   I think such as guide is a very good resource for users. 
I have recently tried to make some graphs from some swift log files, but been unsuccessful. Please tell me if the instructions below are still accurate, or if anything changed -- basically the 'report-abc' directory  fails to being created. 

"On a computer such as communicado, type:

  svn co https://svn.ci.uchicago.edu/svn/vdl2/log-processing
  cd log-processing/bin
  export PATH=$(pwd):$PATH
  swift-plot-log mylog-01234456-8922-abcdef.log

This will give you a directory report-mylog-01234456-8922-abcdef/

I usually then

mv report-mylog-01234456-8922-abcdef ~benc/public_html/

so that I can view it with a web browser at 
http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/~benc/report-mylog-01234456-8922-abcdef/
"
Thanks,
Alina
