My attempts to write an event from R to the syslog in ArcSight CEF

This example demonstrates the struggle to write a properly formatted ArcSight CEF event to the system syslog from R. It shows two attempted approaches: the `rsyslog` package, which successfully writes to the syslog but prefixes the message with an unwanted process identifier, and the `log4r` package, which offers custom layouts for console and file appenders but fails when writing to `/var/log/syslog` due to permission errors. The code uses `syslog()`, `open_syslog()`, `create.logger()`, `console_appender()`, and `file_appender()` to illustrate the differences.

Gist 182083

This example visualizes the output of a shell script that forcibly reinstalls Ruby Version Manager (RVM), capturing the terminal session as a log. The data is a sequence of command prompts and system responses, shown as text. The visualization would likely render this as a timeline or list of terminal output, highlighting the progression of commands, the confirmation prompt, and the cascade of permission errors during the uninstall. It emphasizes the iterative nature of the process and the repeated permission failures, turning a mundane system log into a visual narrative about software management and error handling.

Gist 9ea11dbcc52b4bb1c048

This example shows performance analysis for a data engineering capstone project, comparing a legacy Python log parser against a proposed Scala implementation on Spark and Mesos. The visualization tracks transfer metrics from ASCP log data, specifically examining throughput and packet rates. Using d3.js for charting, it evaluates how efficiently the new streaming solution handles regex parsing of unstructured logs. The project also demonstrates integration with Redis for persistent storage and FaspStream for live data ingestion, with the D3 visualizations presenting benchmark results from test log datasets.

Sketch Logs/Crash Files

This example visualizes a chronological log of Sketch application crash files from a Mac’s DiagnosticReports directory. It shows each crash report as a data point with its file path and formatted creation date. The code uses the Foundation framework’s `NSFileManager` and `NSDateFormatter` to list and timestamp files, filtering for names starting with “Sketch” via JavaScript’s `startsWith`. Output is a plain array of objects, with no graphical rendering library applied.

Gist f6017501c4c3249dbb32

This example parses a data-transfer log line from Aspera’s ASCP protocol, converting its space-delimited key/value pairs into a structured JSON object. It demonstrates a pure Scala regex-based parser, processing each field (bandwidth, retransmission, delay) for downstream analysis. The code uses Scala’s `scala.util.matching.Regex` and `String` methods to extract and format the metrics, serving as a first step toward a streaming Spark pipeline.

Adapted the script by Yonhah: https://github.com/yonghah/esri2sf/blob/master/R/esri2sf.R

This example demonstrates how to fetch GIS feature data from an ArcGIS REST server and convert it into simple features for spatial analysis in R. It shows a workflow that queries a specified layer, retrieves object IDs, and then pulls the corresponding attributes and geometries as GeoJSON. The code relies on the `httr` package for HTTP requests, `jsonlite` for parsing JSON responses, and `sf` for handling spatial data. It also includes a helper function to generate authentication tokens when the server requires login. The implementation uses the ArcGIS REST API's `query` endpoint to request data in batches of 500 IDs, ensuring efficient retrieval of large datasets.

Gist 597373

This example shows a Node.js script that attempts to process crime incident data from a CSV file using the `ecsv` library, but it fails due to a system resource limit. The code calls `exec('wc -c "foo"', ...)` inside the `ecsv.each` callback for every row, spawning a new child process for each record. The visible stack trace from `child_process.spawn` reveals the error "Too many open files," indicating the script exhausts file descriptors because it launches processes asynchronously without waiting for completion. The gist demonstrates a common anti-pattern where unthrottled asynchronous process spawning overwhelms the operating system, using only Node.js core APIs (`child_process.exec`, `fs`) and the third-party `ecsv` parser.

Gist bae6758b4e3645b55f022e6432f29458

This visualization demonstrates the interaction between R and PowerShell, showing how a system call from an R environment triggers a PowerShell script that manipulates data. The code uses the `system2` function to execute a PowerShell command with a specified file path, passing arguments to run `coolScript.ps1`. The example highlights the practical integration of two scripting environments, where R serves as the orchestrator for external process execution. The rendering relies on the command-line interface rather than graphical libraries, focusing on the workflow of invoking and managing external scripts from within an R session. The data flow is implicit in the script's execution, emphasizing interoperability over visual output.

warning and error messages when doing quick setup for firefox debugger

This example visualizes the sequence of warning and error messages generated during a Firefox debugger quick setup, drawn from a terminal log in a gist. It tracks the progression of yarn installation, git cloning, and dependency resolution, highlighting peer dependency warnings and a failed fsevents binary download. The visualization uses React to render the log as a structured timeline, with color-coded nodes or bars to distinguish warnings, errors, and successful steps. The rendering approach leverages React’s component-based layout to map each console line to a visual element, emphasizing the mix of npm, node-gyp, and network-related issues encountered.
