Chart.js is an easy, object oriented client side graphs for designers and developers. You can visualise your data in 6 different ways. Each of them animated, fully customizable and look great, even on retina displays. Chart.js uses the HTML5 canvas element. It supports all modern browsers, and polyfills provide support for IE7/8.
Chart.js is dependency free, lightweight (4.5k when minified and gzipped) and offers loads of customization options. it is licensed under MIT License.
In this recipe, we forward messages from one system to another one. This is used in a number of cases:
the local system does not store any messages (e.g. has not sufficient space to do so)
there is a (e.g. legal) requirement to consolidate all logs on a single system
the server may run some advanced alerting rules, and needs to have a full picture or network activity to work well
You know those cool graphs and statistics you can get for a repository on github? The things is that (unfortunately) not all git repositories are hosted on github for various reasons. This is the PHP tool for rendering graphs for your repository that can be hosted anywhere, and it looks great.
The example screenshots are graphs generated for the jQuery repository.
