Our company makes high-tech instruments. When there are issues with these instruments, the customer can generate a "system information file" (basically a collection of all the log files and traces of the system) which gets saved on a USB stick. This "sysinfo" file gets sent to our distributors (who usually send them on to our service department). We unpack the files and browse through the log files to help diagnose the problem. We are looking to automate this partially. Different generations of our instruments' software generate (slightly) different flavors of log files. They were originally just intended for the developers. There is a collection of tools to unpack the log file collections, but these are not very "user friendly" and it takes our service department considerable time for each incident. Our service department has asked R&D to make a nice tool for this, preferably online, but we can't seem to get enough priority for this, also because we have no web developers in house. Hence, this project: We are looking for a server-side solution, preferably in a language we speak (Python). We know that most server-side apps are written in PHP, but we'd prefer not to learn something new. The rough idea is this: - Service engineer (or perhaps later distributor, or perhaps even later the end customer) uploads the sysinfo file to the server - Server app sniffs the file to see which version it's from - Server app unpacks the file accordingly and presents a viewer of the relevant log files in there in a web page - Server app maybe has some built-in "pattern matching" to recognize often-occurring problems. The last part is why we want a server-side app instead of a standalone app which send to our distributors, because we have the idea that we can add some patterns which our service engineers look for, and gradually extend the app (or let the successful freelancer extend the app) with more of these patterns. For example: the app could look for "vacuum error" and automatically highlight this in the web view. The page doesn't have to be "sexy", and plain HTML output is fine. Please contact me for more information if required.

Hello, Very interesting project here, I imagine a simple PHP frontend which serve as upload plateform and the pattern-matching can obviously be python scripts (which your service engineers may already use for incident handling?) and the output can be easily displayed. Also if you want your distributors to upload the 'sysinfo'' file directly to your website, many security issues must be considered. I have my own webserver for the test. Also, we will need many sysinfo samples to make sure that the pattenr-matching scripts works well Please let me know more about this project, I'm already working on the PHP frontend and stuff :)

Hi, All your requirements and the information are well understood. But, I have a suggestion for not to go with Python. There is always a chance to upgrade and maintain the code which you are going to implement for this issue. The PHP is easy for most of the developers to work-out. Even if you get this task developed in Python, do you want someone from your team to upgrade? than , why don't you get it done from your team from scratch. Just a suggestion. I would like to develop this in PHP and MySQL. I would like to be invited for this project, Look forward for your reply, regards, Nittile

Hi. I read the description of the project and got interested in your project. You seems to me a professional company and I want to work, during this project, with you. The idea of the project seems to be clear. Few questions so far: 1. Does the web interface needs to have user auth? 2. How big can be a sysinfo file ? (in MB) ? 3. How many files you may have? I mean like a big number? 4. Does logged in users have there files uploaded in there scope only ? (in case that we have auth) 5. I'm planning to use Django for this, is this ok ? 6. On which OS will the app run ? 7. What is the deadline for it? 8. What kind of products do your company develop? This are the questions so far. Waiting for details. Thx. Hope we will collaborate.

Good day and thank you for reading my proposal. I know you are specifically asking for Python, but we do not work in python and I thought I'd throw this proposal out there just in case. We do work in PHP and the system framework we have is 100% AJAX and very, very fast. I would offer this to you as a solution. Microtronix has been in business now for 12 years and has over 200 customers in 12 countries of the world. We also have offices in the USA and Guatemala, C.A. We work primarily developing large Cloud based PHP systems to replace windows programs or older systems. We recently worked for Irvine Public Schools in California developing an online system to track all schools in the district. We also worked recently on a continuing assessment system for the board of medicine in Chicago. Both systems are 100% cloud based PHP systems. These are only a few of the projects we have worked on lately. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Hi, We are experts in python scripting and extensively used perl/python regexp for pattern matching and parsing. Can we have this project get completed in different iterations? I can't tell you the exact quote since I don't know at this time log files for how many devices and how many versions for each devices in place. Please have a look on our review on perl too https://www.freelancer.com/u/techvolcano.html Thanks.

Can you PM me a sample log file? I would have to see a sample to make a better estimate. And I would prefer PHP or .NET, but if the python is a strict requirement I can accommodate. The advantage of PHP is that you can easily hire freelancers to update the code if need be. .NET would make it easier to make a desktop version of the same app. Regards

Hi! What about collaboration in that project? On first steps we could outsource and support ready solution which could classify any text information according problems taxonomy and extract facts. If this solution would satisfy you - you could in the future buy the license and set up the server. Of course, we could make taxonomy/ontology of technical problems using machine learning from log/text files/notes/messages. PM me if you are interested in workflow and how it works, I would show you real demos. Also we do perform any statistical analysis/clustering/visualization of data, so you could receive any report you need in most convenient way.

What you want to focus on is the ELK stack: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. It is a fully scalable, open source splunk replacement. Kibana is the goal here. It will give your team an amazing dashboard with which to mine log events. Nothing anyone here will create for you will come close. Elasticsearch is the lucene database engine that aims to be plug-and-play scalable. Logstash is the part that we could skip. The only reason to run it is to get access to the GROK pattern matching library. It takes log lines and matches semantics to syntax, then feeds elasticsearch. Honestly, for the project budget, I would write a python flask application that would handle the zipfile uploads and then either hand it off to logstash or straight into elasticsearch.

Hello Netherlands! My idea is as follows: Sniffing for common patterns as configurable table. Operator can add patterns and click on/off field to hook them to upload form. The rest of the project is clear. Maybe some more ideas will pop-up when presented with actual samples of the files. I will try to propose something interesting. I just signed to freelancer, but I already did some tools for networking company (invoicing & inventory django app for example). Best Regards from Poland & Thank You, Witold.
