| 2 | | Czartool is a collection of Perl scripts to assist when monitoring the IPP system. It began as a script to quickly show the user the current status of each label, i.e. how many images pending, how many faults. A webpage followed, then a database was implemented in combination with a polling program (czarpoll) which updates it every few minutes with the current status of the IPP. |

| | 8 | Most users will use czartool via the web page in ippMonitor. This gives a snapshot of processing at the current time, with plots starting from around 6:30am in the morning, since this is when (currently) burntool is scheduled to begin processing the previous night's data. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | There are, however, other useful Perl scripts available in {{{trunk/tools}}} that enable the user to go back further in time and create plots or metrics of particular labels, stages or date ranges. The main tool of interest is czarplot. |
