GSoC Week 06 - Mid-term Evaluations :)

The good news from GSoC office came today and it said i had passed the mid-term evaluation. :) Few more step to go now ...

This week at the start i had a mail discussion with pascal and we discussed on getting the first release for the System Monitoring module out by the 2nd week of July.

Then it was back to drawing the graph based on memory data. After struggling several times with NVD3 js i finally decided to look for alternatives as it was not easy for me to get the NVD3 based graph working. There were not enough examples, documents on getting this etc. When looking at other available options i found the Google Chart API [1] which was amazing and did my job !!

Google chart API has a rich documentation support and  a good API reference guide which helped me in creating a line chart by retrieving data from the metric value table and populate them as a graph. The syntax was easy to understand. So finally i was able to draw my first graph with real time memory data as shown in the image below. 

This is how the week went so far. Now i am going to work on furnishing the graphs and finalize the current implementation by next week so we can meet up the release deadline right at the time.
