Perforce JViews Diagrammer Sample: Tunnel Monitoring

Description

This demo illustrates how to use dashboards and symbols to monitor traffic and events in a tunnel.

How to Use the Sample

• Once the demo is started you see a screen that allows you to choose a tunnel by clicking the buttons located under the map. Clicking one of the buttons button opens a new window displaying other dashboards in which you can watch changing traffic statistics and events.

How to Run the Sample as an Application

This sample can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, tunnel-demo.jar, that allows you to execute the sample with a double click from a file browser. Note that if you are using Internet Explorer, you can open the installation directory and execute the JAR file from the browser. This technique may not work in other Web browsers.

Alternatively, you can run the sample application from the command line. First check that the Ant utility is properly configured. If not, see the instructions on how to configure Ant for Perforce JViews.

Then, go to the installation directory of the sample and type:

ant run

Topics Covered

Source Files

• Tunnel

  The entry point of the demo. Creates a dashboard used as a starting screen and a menu to choose the tunnel to monitor.

• MonitoringView

  The monitoring view displays a frame containing two dashboards used to monitor traffic statistics, tunnel states and events.

• Supervisor

  The supervisor is associated to a dashboard. It will inspect it in order to retrieve the parameters to update. It will also periodically request values for the parameters to the simulator.

• Simulator

  The simulator computes values for parameters that could be requested by a supervisor.
