Hi Ted
The output of the instrumentation code is configurable, but currently
I have it just reporting the high-level blockEvent and its arguments
(i.e. collection or item displayName):

My plan is to dump everything notable to a file, then later analyze
this information using some post processing scripts. The thinking
behind this is:
+ Simpler implementation/Reduced processing overhead for chandler
+ Ability to go back and examine data that we originally weren't
considering
+ Allows for the blockEvent code to evolve w/o the need for evolving
the instrumentation code (new events will just be ignored by the
reporting scripts until the hooks are created, but things will go on
processing)
+ Ability to have an immutable/raw record of user activity
It's quite likely that we can collaborate on making this output quite
usable by the 'attention recorder' component. Can you tell me a bit
more about exactly specifically what you'd be looking for in this case.

Hi Ashkan,
I took a look at your instrumentation stuff in
<http://svn.osafoundation.org/sandbox/asoltani/instrumentation/>.
I don't have much to say on the changes that you made to the
internals of CPIA, but I am interested in the output format. Do
you have a sample output file that I could look at? As I've
mentioned previously, I'm interested in layering an attention
recorder <http://www.attentiontrust.org/services> on top of what
you've done. The only question I have is whether or not the data
being recorded by your code is sufficiently high level for that
usage, or whether it would have to be post processed in order to
get a more "semantic" event stream.
Thanks,
Ted
