Here I step through how I implemented communication between two MATLAB instances on two different machines. One MATLAB (the server) stores a 40GB data set that I want another MATLAB web app (the client) to access. This avoids the web app having to re-load this large data set each time…. read more >>

If you remember, my app creates a timer to control the execution of the main loop. It doesn’t however delete the timer. As a result, when you close the app, the timer is left behind which is untidy. Here I use the UIFigureCloseRequest callback to stop and delete the timer… read more >>

Now I have a basic working app that starts monitoring a specific server immediately. Next, I try and hookup some some UI controls correctly so I can start and stop it, and switch between servers.
Once again, I’m using a larger desktop to give more real-estate for App Designer, so you… read more >>

Sometimes the text files I need to read have an irregular format, i.e. it changes row-to-row. MATLAB file reading functions that expect columns of data (e.g readtable), need a uniform format to work. So if this is not the case, you need to read the file line-by-line, then split the… read more >>

Now that I’ve got most of my data processing and plotting working, I think I can start using App Designer to put it all together. I’m going to move most of the code that I have developed into the app. I will need to make modifications to the signatures of… read more >>

I need to perform a number of checks on the values in a large table. Currently I implement the checks in code in a script. I find it can be cumbersome if I want enable or disable certain checks, as I need to comment out or use a if/then. Looking… read more >>

So far I have some charts displaying my server traffic in a while loop. Next, I think I want to execute the chart updates at a regular rate, so I’m going to move the contents of the loop into a separate function and call it from a timer object. This… read more >>

In my last post, I worked on accessing a set of continually updating log files from a server. Here I will review what I did to tidy up my code, then work on plotting the streaming data as it comes in.
Features covered in this code-along style video include:

Plotting

This will be one of a few posts where I work on building an app that will visualize traffic to a web server, letting me monitor it as its being used. I plan to use App Designer, then deploy the app to the web, which was a new feature in… read more >>

Here I restructure the section of my code that filters the requests, so I can easily add any filter rule (as an anonymous function) in the future. Once again I forgot to turn on my webcam so you don’t get to see my smiling face, just my desktop.
