Ocelotl is an innovative visualization tool, which provides overviews for execution trace analysis by using a data aggregation technique. This technique enables to find anomalies in huge traces containing up to several billions of events, while keeping a fast computation time and providing a simple representation that does not overload the user.
Ocelotl is integrated into Framesoc, a generic trace management and analysis infrastructure. You can take advantage of the tool bunch provided by Framesoc, and switch from an Ocelotl's overview to more detailed representations once you know where to focus.

This is the easiest way to start with Ocelotl. First, download a version of Eclipse. We recommand Eclipse Luna. Then, install Ocelotl in Eclipse using the following procedure:
soctrace.conf
configuration file in your Eclipse installation directory), do the following:
In order to be able to use Ocelotl you might need to increase the maximum amount of memory available for the JVM, setting it to at least 4096 MB for best performance. To do this, you need to:
Open the eclipse.ini
file in the root directory of your eclipse installation
Look for a line containing the -Xmx variable, like the following:
-Xmx####m
(#### is the current value of maximal memory in MB)
Replace #### with at least 4096, in order to get the following line:
-Xmx4096m
Alternatively, you may want to work with Ocelotl sources.
