Provide examples for logfile parsing

[sneumann]

Hi, this is so cool it should be possible to use this elsewhere.
That would require a bit more test in the readme, but especially
an example data provider like the ones in:
https://github.com/ebiwd/EMBL-EBI-Live-data-map/blob/master/parseLogMap.php#L34

Right now it's just been designed for the EBI Portals, services and Uniprot (a bit of info on displaying just those is in the source of https://github.com/ebiwd/EMBL-EBI-Live-data-map/blob/master/live-data-map.html)

We put this up on github in the hopes that someone would come along and say "that looks interesting".

We can add more data sources, just need a log file with a lat/long per request, that is:

target-layer,longitude,latitude,point-type 
markerClustersEBI,-5.6620,40.9681,0
markerClustersEBI,-5.6620,40.9681,0
markerClustersEBI,-71.0993,42.3451,0
markerClustersEBI,77.0000,20.0000,0
markerClustersEBI,-5.6620,40.9681,0
markerClustersEBI,-5.6620,40.9681,0
markerClustersEBI,113.5325,34.6836,0
markerClustersEBI,-5.6620,40.9681,0

It's a fairly primitive approach to doing this, but it works well enough. Ideally we would have request timestamps and a socket approach, but we didn't want to over engineer a first version...

If you can supply a log file with lat/long pairs, happy to work with you to implement that and potentially improve the rendering logic of the map.

And thanks for the kind word!

Ah, good. so one opportunity would be
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/realtime/dimsmets/geonetwork
and alternative use something like http://2mohitarora.blogspot.de/2013/07/log-user-lat-and-long-in-apache-log.html and small script to extract just the format you mention above. I'll keep in mind, but no immediate implementation plans.
