Abstract
System administration is a complex field to manage and maintain. The system requires
knowledge of operating systems and applications, as well as hardware and software
troubleshooting. The state of the system is being monitored and important information
is logged. Measured data is used to analyze the performance and to find out if the system
meets the requirements. Among their selective tools, there is no one specifically
made for analyze and report writing purpose. This master thesis designs and develops
an analysis framework for performance data. It offers some visualization and statistical
techniques through a graphical interface, in order to help the user through analysis
and report writing. This approach is trying to demonstrate abilities from other graph
and statistical tools done in a simpler way, and is considered a useful contribution for
system administrators.
