What's Flying Widgets?

Flying Widgets adds CSS3 transitions to your dashboard, allowing you to cycle through multiple widget sets on a single TV without page reloads, using stylish CSS3 transitions. You can even still re-order your widgets and save their locations!

Note that sinatra-cyclist is a potential alternative if the machine you use to display your dashboards is lacking in graphics horsepower.

Setup

To use, put this file in assets/javascripts/cycleDashboard.coffee. Then find this line in application.coffee:

wenzhixin

# install openjdk
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

# download android sdk
wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.2-linux.tgz

tar -xvf android-sdk_r24.2-linux.tgz
cd android-sdk-linux/tools

# install all sdk packages

Finding Packer-generated AMIs automatically after builds

The basic technique is to have Packer add a tag with a unique value during the build, and use AWS' built-in filtering capabilities to find that specific AMI after the build finishes.

• template.json - Shows the settings that need to be added to your template
• build.sh - Shows how to use the template to do a build and retrieve the AMI information

# parse and genarlise it using mysql_slow_log_parser (https://gist.github.com/theprogrammerin/e3206a4ec7a7a4086ac2)
# and then push the parsed log to elastic search using logstash (slowquery.conf)(https://gist.github.com/theprogrammerin/034a3efd849112d166ea)
# For analysis on analytic tool like kibana.
