MongoDB Reporting UI

In a previous challenge, we created a log parser for our customer, Barton, to parse log data into a MongoDB.  Now that Barton has collected some data, they would like to have an easy to use interface to aggregate and view the log data.

Design and build a UI for a log reporting engine.  This interface should include the following elements:

• Must run on Microsoft Azure platform
• Time Period selection mechanism:  This would allow a user to select time period increments last 24h, 12h, 6h, 1h.  The mechanism should default to 24h
• Area for application data
  • Area will have the name of the application as well as its environment (provided by configuration) selectable
  • Each instance of the application will list all the errors found in the logs, grouped and counted by error. (For now, we are only looking at entries of type “Error”)
    • The user should be able to drill down and see the individual errors inside the aggregation

The UI will get data from a MongoDB.  This DB has already been filled with appropriate data for you to use.  The connection details are in the forum.  The DB has the following collection layout:

• Configurations:  Contain the unique ID for each application instance
• LogEntries:  The raw log entries
• Stats:  Aggregated data from the LogEntries collection
