Visualizing web server activity using gource
I just want to share this little weekend experiment. I used gource (usually intended to show git repo changes over time) with web server logs. Video is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqV8wqy0v7w It's showing the web server activity for a non profit, requesting and receiving payments, accepting new members, as well as having the two admins making changes around. This is actually surprisingly easy to do with gource by just providing a log file in a pretty simple format instead of providing the git repo. This is a low traffic server but I find it quite interesting as a way…

In the maker’s words, at launch
