WebDataRocks / Flexmonster - Data server
-
WebDataRocks is a free (but not opensource) javascript pivot table tool for analyzing and visualizing data. Flexmonster is the paid version without some limitations of WebDataRocks.
I use both. It's a very practical and powerful tool.
Installation is trivial on the Surfer app.
With Flexmonster (maybe WebDataRocks) it is possible to use a Flexmonster Data Server as a data source and for saving reports. Before packaging it for my own use, I'd like to know if anyone has already done this work or if anyone else is interested in this tool.

This tool offers many options for processing and visualizing csv or json data. The documentation is comprehensive, with many examples. It is also possible to generate graphics using native or external libraries. Tables and charts can be integrated into web pages to generate dashboards.
As WebDataRocks and Flexmonster are static components, there is no process logging, although reports can be saved and re-imported. The server offers a solution for storing reports and working with larger volumes of data.

@robi OK, I'm not sure my particular usage is of much interest.
I use these tools to analyze action and frequentation data for the scientific culture center I work for. We organize events on our site in Poitiers (France) and in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region with other centers and partners such as universities and research labs.
I generate dashboards so that the various services can analyze and visualize their own data and generate reports. I use WebDataRocks for views to be shared or included on pages. Flexmonster is more powerful, but its license imposes private use on a single location. So I use it to prepare the processing and select the data and views to be shared.

@jeau It's not that your usage is of interest, it's so that others not in your field can be inspired to use it for things that they themselves can relate to.
Does your description allow them to do that?
It doesn't for me..
So what data, how's it's gathered, what it looks like as a real world example, the problem of not using the tools and the benefit are all relevant. Hence 'use case' to use another term.
Can someone use it for their lemonade stand? Temp sensor? Door entry logs? Pet collar data? Pedometer? Make it personal ;]
