  • 3.6.x
  • 3.7.x

Get Started ▲

Install ▲

• Windows
  There are two ways to install.
  • Install with pip.
    1. Install python3.
    2. Install with pip like below.

       > python -m pip install ganttlogger
       

  • Install by downloading ganttlogger-exe-x86_64-<version>.zip.
    • Read README for executable file.
      • In English
      • 日本語版
• MacOS There are two ways to install.
  • Install with pip.
    1. Install python3 and pip3.
    2. Installl with pip3 like below.

       $ pip3 install ganttlogger
       

    3. If you can't install with pip3, download ganttlogger-<version>.tar.gz from Releases or PyPI, extract it, and run install command below.

       $ python3 setup.py install
       

    4. Add "Terminal.app" to "Accessibility" in "Security & Privacy" in system environment settings to allow Terminal.app to get inputs from keyboard.

    • Read README for executable file.
      • In English
      • 日本語版

Quick Start ▲

1. Run as "Alone"(Run both monitoring and logging in a PC).

   $ ganttlogger
   

2. Exit CLI(running as "Alone" or "Observer") by hitting keys 1+0+z+m continuously (mashing keys, not long pressing simultaneously).
3. Check a created folder ganttlogger_logs in current directory.
   When you want a guide about the outputed folder, refer Structure of outputed folder "ganttlogger_logs".

• If you get the following problems
  • ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32gui' on Windows.
    • Try uninstall and install pywin32.

      > python -m pip uninstall pywin32 & python -m pip install pywin32
      

  • Appear warning below when plotting graphs.

    /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_agg.py:211: RuntimeWarning: Glyph 128266 missing from current font.
    font.set_text(s, 0.0, flags=flags)
    /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_agg.py:180: RuntimeWarning: Glyph 128266 missing from current font.
    font.set_text(s, 0, flags=flags)
    

    • No problem. You can ignore that.

Structure of outputed folder "ganttlogger_logs" ▲

ganttlogger_logs
├ (ID)
    ├ active_tab.log
    ├ mouse.log
    ├ keyboard.log
    └ graphs
        ├ output_(date)_all.pkl
        ├ output_(date)_all.png
        ...
├ (ID)
    ├ active_tab.log
    ...
...

• (ID): A unique ID generated by ganttlogger.
• ~.log: log data.
• ~.pkl: Dynamic graph data.
• ~.png: Static graph data(image).

Command Options ▲

usage: ganttlogger [--observer] [--logger] [--uuid <UUID>] [--help] [--plotter] [--withplot] [--displayer] [--merger]

This CLI will do Observing active-tab, mouse, keyboard,
and Logging them,
and Plotting graphs (active-tab=ganttchart, mouse=line, keyboard=bar).
If you don't set any option, this work both of 'observer' and 'logger'.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o, --observer        The role of this PC is only observing action.
  -l, --logger          The role of this PC is only logging and plotting. You must also set '--uuid'.
  -u UUID, --uuid UUID  When you set '--logger', you must also set this by being informed from 'observer' PC.
  -p, --plotter         Use this option if you want other outputs by a log in the current directory after getting one and a graph.
  --withplot            Use this option when you want to get a graph after running 'Alone'.
  -d, --displayer       Use this option when you want to look a graph from a '.pkl' file.
  -m, --merger          Use this option when you want to merge all logs in folders in 'ganttlogger_logs'.

• --observer and --logger don't work because they're not implemented yet.
• Run ganttlogger without any options if you run CLI as alone - both of observer and logger/plotter -.
  • Add an option --withplot, if you want graphs along with logs.
    Then, CLI will output a graph like No.1 of Graph Examples
• Change to current directory of logs and add an option --plotter, if you want to get other graphs from logs.
  • Then, you'll be required some settings to decide formats to plot graphs.
  • First,

    Select plot types separated by ',',  or enter without input.:
    

    Select keywords(you can combine) from (set_interval | filter_tab | select_data | xaxis_type | xlim_range).
  • When select set_interval, you'll be required a setting.

    Set the number of interval by seconds:
    

    Example graph when set "5" is No.2 of Graph Examples.
  • When select filter_tab, you'll be required two settings.

    (1)Input a file name written a list of tab text you want to filter.:
    
    (2)Do you want to hide mouse and keyboard graph depictions of the duration filtered regarding tab text?(Y/n) :
    

  • When select select_data, you'll be required a setting.

    Select 'all' or names separated by ',' from ('active_tab'|'mouse'|'keyboard'|'mouse-keyboard').:
    

    Example graphs when set "active_tab" and "keyboard" are No.5 and No.6 of Graph Examples.
  • When select xaxis_type, you'll be required two settings.

    (1)Select x-axis type for ActiveTab from whether 'active-start' or number of the interval by seconds:
    
    (2)Select x-axis type for Mouse or Keyboard from whether 'active-start' or number of the interval by seconds:
    

    Example graphs when set "(1)active-start(2)active-start" and "(1)15(2)15" are No.3 and No.4 of Graph Examples.
  • When select xlim_range, you'll be required two settings.

    (1)Input start time of graph xlim in the format 'YYYY/mm/dd HH:MM:SS'.:
    
    (2)Input end time of graph xlim in the format 'YYYY/mm/dd HH:MM:SS'.:
    

    Then, you can get a graph during the specified time zone.
  • When select set_ylabel, you'll be required a setting.

    Do you want to remove from active-tab-names(y-labels)? (Y/n):
    

    If you input 'Y', you can get graphs having y-labels composed of the only application names (excluding tab names).
• Add an option --displayer if you want watch dynamic graph with generated ~.pkl.
  • Then, you'll be required a setting.

    Input file name of '.pkl':
    

• Add an option --merger if you want to merge all logs in folders(these names is ID) in "ganttlogger_logs".
  • Then, you'll be required a setting.

    Select 'all' or names separated by ',' from ('active_tab'|'mouse'|'keyboard').:
    

  • After running, you'll get an outputted folder "merged_<datetime>".

Graph Examples

• All graphs were plotted from same logs.

Issues. ▲

• When long running on Mac, this cli makes PC out of memory.
  The reason may be in a dependent module pyobjc, but I don't know how to release memory.
  Memory leak pyobjc - stack overflow
• Like No.2 in Graph Examples, a part of ganttchart disappear from graph when setting set_interval more than 2.
  I'm investigating the causes...
• In Observer.py, sometimes thread error like below occurs on Windows. I'm investigating the causes...

  Exception in thread Thread-1:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
  

• Sometimes an error below occurs when plotting from a short term logs.

  Traceback (most recent call last):

  IndexError: index 0 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 0
  

• Try implementing flushing stdin buffering. But it's difficury, so I want advices or pull-requests.

In the future... ▲

• Implement mode remote '--observer' and '--logger'.
