[news.eclipse.tools.hyades] Problem with application profiling & other q

Hi all,

I've tried to simply profile java application (JCarModel) with default configuration and I've following problem: even though I've successfully started RAS and java process for JCarModel class has been launched (see attached log file) I've received error message (see attached picture).

Steps in detail:

- installation

- PATH & RASERVER_HOME variables setup

- SetConfig.bat -> correct configuration

- RAServer.exe -> server has been started

- eclipse startup

- new java project -> JCarModel creation

- profile perspective

- profile/java application - JCarModel selection - profile button

progress bar has reached 87% -> I can see error message.

I've tried Perfmon as well, I've received following error:

java.lang.Exception: Could not create PerfmonAgent on RAC

Plugin ID...................org.eclipse.hyades.perfmon

Plugin Provider.............Eclipse.org

Plugin Version..............3.0.1

Plugin Install URL..........platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.hyades.perfmon_3.0.1/

at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:66)

my configuration:

- Eclipse 3.0

- Windows XP

- JRE1.4.2

- Hyades 3.0.1_20040715_1146 (I've tried 3.0.0 as well)

Could you please explain what I'm doing wrong ?

Next questions:

I'm looking for a proof of concept of Hyades in context of real environment:

Is there available information about performance & memory (scalability) of Hyades over large data base ? (e.g. analysis over size of log 1GB) - do you load all information from log into objects (memory) in that case ?
Do you have a list of your users and their configuration ? (e.g. IBM, Hyades used for enterprise application profiling and monitoring produces 10GB log per month)

Next, I'm looking for a framework or a solution of a web server log analyzer - i.e. we need to solve following use-cases: 1. show statistics about wrong operations, correct operations, etc., 2. show access statistics, search statistics, etc. I've found http://awstats.sourceforge.net project, but we prefer solution in Java + Eclipse, moreover, we need support for extension we can't do simply using awstats - is this right use-cases could be solved using your tool ? (I guess it is, what is more: it's the best one ;-) Is there any support of that currently or could I simply create my own statistical tables/graphs ?

Regards,

Roman
