Back to Pentaho again

So, this year I have been spending most of my time digging in Network Management Systems both open and closed source. Think on Net-SNMP, SNMPTT, NAGIOS, CENTREON and you will get an idea. I promise i'll post more about this because is such an interesting topic.

With some adjustments to the CDF's js libraries (the marker layer) I changed the presentation to render a circle with a color scale and whose size depends on the number of clients in the xy position. Here is the result:

Isn't open source software nice? :-)
