This is a follow-up to last month’s webinar, “Making the Most of FusionReactor’s Logs”. In that one, we discussed the benefits of analyzing FR’s logs (for post-mortem, trend, or spot troubleshooting), and we reviewed at a high level the many tools available to do such analysis. In this webinar, we will go deeper into using spreadsheet tools like Excel (though the concepts apply as well to OpenOffice Calc and Google Sheets).
We’ll quickly reprise the fundamental steps of getting the logs into Excel, and then we’ll go further with several specific sorts of analysis which can be done against such log data via spreadsheets, the kinds of useful troubleshooting information we can obtain this way, and we will take time especially to leverage the unique value of pivot tables. You’ll see how easy it is for you to use such spreadsheet features, by demonstration of the simple (but not always obvious) steps to follow.
