A Reporting System for a Device Management Application

Abstract: Device Management Applications are applications which are used to manage software on devices such as mobile phones. OMSI Forum provides such an application which is used to update the software on a phone. Software updates can be done at device management stations placed in stores or other service locations. Whenever a phone's software is updated, information about the update process is stored in a log. These logs can then be analyzed to generate statistics about updates such as the number of successful or failed updates or which faults that are common. This master thesis project solves the problem of manually collecting and compiling logs from several stores by making this process automatic. Rather than collecting logs manually, each device management station sends its logs to a centralized server which stores all collected logs in a database. This makes it possible to generate charts and statistics in a simple manner from a web application. This solution makes the analysis more e ective, allowing users to concentrate on analyzing data by removing the work task of collecting logs.
