The Project – Part 1  “Data Mining and Consolidation”  This tool will increase efficiency of human log file review to gather information from the system.  Will use NetApp’s Data ONTAP simulator running on Linux.  Input: Data from various log files.  List of log files to be processed: Apache, bcomd, command-history, debug, fpolicy, hashd, jm-restart, memsnap, messages, mgwd, ndmpd, notifyd, secd, servprocd, sktlogd, spdebug, spmd, vifmgr and vldb.  Processing: Pattern matching, learning algorithm.  Output: Interactive, hierarchical view of consolidated information. 3 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

Requirements – Part 1  The process to gather data shall run on-demand triggered by an option in the tool.  The interface shall run in a browser.  The tool must have the capability to save point-in-time results.  The tool must create a DATA ONTAP log dictionary.  The tool must have section for top results like “Top Keywords”, “Top Log Messages”, etc.  The tool must be able to correlate messages across different log files based on timestamp.  The tool must present results dynamically based on the time window selected.  The project must include automated testing and analysis of code coverage. 4 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

Project Deliverables – Part 1  Plan –Functional specification –Design specification –Test plan including automated tests –Plan for measuring code coverage for automated tests  Weekly Updates –Written –Working demo after first couple of weeks –Q & A session  Deliverables –Project kick-off presentation (2 to 4 weeks into the project) –Pre-final presentation (week or 2 before final presentation… to be used to coach final presentation.) –Final presentation and proposal (finals weeks) –Demo 5 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

The Project – Part 2  “Bring Down the Box”  The goal of this part of the project is to write a script that will render NetApp’s Data ONTAP simulator unusable.  Upon successful completion your script will be presented to our QA department for reproduction in the QA environment and filing of defects to be fixed in our code.  Input: None  Output: Script that, when run, will affect operation of our simulator such that it cannot be used until the box is restarted. 6 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

Mentor / Mentee Interaction  Mentors on campus for initial presentation to class.  Mentor / mentee 1 hour meeting weekly. At least 1 person from the NetApp mentor team (typicaly project manager) will try to be on campus and will conference the rest of the team in. Webex to be used as well.  and Instant messenger communication can be used between scheduled meetings.  Project manager from NetApp also available by telephone.  Mentors on campus for final presentation. 7 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only
