Log Analysis

Project Note

Problem

Log files are generated everytime our system is turned on. The issues usually arise when a customer returns from a flight and gives very vague description of a problem.

What we would like to know is:

• What was planned?
• What worked? What is NOT working?
• Why is it not working?
• Some standard information from the flight.

Solutions

What is the output that gives us this information?

End result was using powershell to read and parse the files needed and pull out three (3) distinct sections:

Identification / Version Information

• Date
• Mission
• Associated SW Versions
• Sensor ID

Test Status

• Find SBIT and Status of all tests with Time Stamp
• TODO: Any failures should indicate Test ID and information from the SBIT Test Documentation.

Mission Status

• Calibration Tasks
• Imaging Tasks
• Failed Imaging tasks
• End of mission time

All of this was done using Powershell. Main factors were:

1. Who will use the tool?
2. Any licenses needed ?
3. Any special equipment - laptop needed?
4. Can it work overseas and without internet connection.
