Files Dashboard

The files dashboard is a web page to get an overview of the raw data files of trackers. For a chosen project and a date interval, it displays a table with a row for every day in the date interval and a column for every tracker that belongs to the project.

Each cell from the table will then contain information for the files of that tracker for that day; in principle, one box for each file. And usually, no more than one file per day. The purpose is to have information at a glance, so if there are no files for a tracker for one day, an empty box is to be shown.

Files processing

Raw tracking data comes into the system sent as plain text files through a Dropbox account. These are then available in the server file system.

Once accessible through the local file system, they can be queried, read and parsed to extract the tracking information they contained.

The file name has the form Log_0533_13042012_xx.txt.
