OpenAccess Profiler Dashboard

[Chris]

In this webinar the conference junkie application showcased a very nice looking real-time dashboard for viewing events and metrics fed from an open access profiling service, displayed directly within an MVC web app. Unfortunately I'm not at all familiar with the MVC framework, I strictly work with web forms at this time. I found reference to this feature in one of the final FAQ's,

Question: how do we create a dashboard for these metrics? or is there a template already there for us to use? any place we can go to learn about this more?

Answer: Please feel free to take a look at the dashboard provided in the Conference Junkie Source code.

However, this obviously isn't going to help me at all since MVC is pretty much a foreign language to me at this time. I've searched all over the documentation and I can't seem to find any reference to the API that this MVC webapp makes use of (of which I could use to display this information in my web forms project). I would think there are others out there that could make use of such information, ideally a sample project for each MVC and Web forms would be very nice to see (especially abstracted from the conference junkie application) or at very least add this API documentation to the open access online help. Please let me know if there is information I may have missed, or that my request can be accommodated.


Thanks!

I did find the documentation on the Metrics API, http://www.telerik.com/help/openaccess-orm/openaccess-tasks-tracing-and-logging-metrics-api.html 


However, I would still like to see some sort of example to follow, or at least a general outline in normal telerik fashion (like in the online help).

Hello Brandon,

I am copying the response I have sent in your matching support thread:

1) We have some video tutorials for building a simple application. If you really want to get your hands dirty with MVC and OpenAccess, this is the place to start. You can watch the version using the Visual Designer based mapping or the Fluent (Code-Only) Mapping.

2) You can find MVC sample applications in the OpenAccess SDK There, the entire process of building the application is described in a walkthrough so that everything is explained. There you will also find an ASP.NET Web Forms example (both web applications and web sites) and even a Web Forms MVP sample.

Let us know if you need anything from the documentation - we will guide you and provide any tutorials and information needed. I am looking forward to your feedback. 

All the best,
Ivailo

For anyone following this thread, Ivailo and the rest of telerik have decided to create some documentation as I originally requested, I'm sure they will respond here when it's complete.

Hello,

For the future readers of the thread, there are a couple of resources to use for such implementation:

- Our Metrics API documentation
- The ASP.NET AJAX RadChart control demos, which should replace the MVC chart used in the Conference Junkie application.

Apart from that, a code sample was created which will probably lead to an official code library or SDK example once it is enhanced. In the meantime please request it through the support system if needed.

Kind regards,
Ivailo
