Data Path

Capture and Storage

All sensor data is captured and stored into a central redis database running on glados.shack. The database schema is documented in more detail in database/redis-schema.md.

Processing and Preparation

Processing to make data suitable for plotting on the presentation frontend is done using various apps. Apps are triggered from the presentation layer.

Presentation

Plotting is done using the g.raphaeljs library. twitter Bootstrap is used for quick and easy prototyping of the GUI.

• A redis instance to hold captured data
• A means to capture data and push it to redis
