HAR file logging with ELK stack - visualization

Has anyone had any success visualizing .HAR (httparchive) files in Kibana? Har files seem to be in json format, hoping there is a shortcut there but just guessing. I am pretty new to to the ELK stack.
Curious if anyone had any attempts or successes before reinventing the wheel. My goal is to be able to index these files for regression to trend on specific requests.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Why is Visual Basic 6 Packaging and Deployment Wizard system freezing with no message why

I have amended an old VB6 program, adding new images and making fairly simple code changes. When I come to creating the CAB file, the P&D Wizard freezes halfway through and gives no reason why. It could be looking for a file, can't find it and is just looping.I have tried checking existence of files but so far have found nothing.
Does anyone have any good ideas? I would be very grateful for help with this. Is there any other way of creating a CAB file?

Automatically generated R file

My eclipse project has one glitch and one glitch only which is a line of code in automatically generated R file.
How do I find the associated error be it in layout of my resources or in my values strings? I don't know where the error or disfunction is from in the R file.
Please help and advanced thanks to anyone who answers.
Thanks
Check your eclipse Problem or Marker tab, which will tell you exactly which xml resource or image have problem.
I have had this issue on many occasions and sometimes the warnings or error markers do no point to any specific issue.
It could be a letter has been typed in a resource file such as strings.xml or incorrect syntax in one of your layout files.
The most thorough approach, and one that I have had to do when I have exhausted other options, is to go over each of your resources that you have edited since it was last working correctly and look for things like a missing semi-colon or an incorrectly placed letter.
Check your resources such as your layout files, your color and string resources. Any of your .xml files could have an issue with them so check them all. More often than not it is something miniscule so don't give up looking.

CrystalReports Editing a rpt file

I was asked to investigate why some data is not being pulled up in a CrytalReport document. I am an absolute beginner ( as far as CrytalReports is concerned ) who just wanted to tinker with the code and see how the results change. Is this right way to fix the issue?
I was thinking that there will be some selection criteria (similar to an SQL Query ) and I can change the values there. After spending a couple of hours, I am out of patience. Can anyone please tell me or give me some pointers about them. I prefer not going through CrystalReports for beginners which teach from installing to setup and all. In fact, I really don't know what it takes to edit a CrystalReports file.
Another issue is that when I open the .rpt file, I get a dialog with the title Log On To Repository. Which repository is this? I have complete access to the SQL Server database, but the passwords did not work..(including that of sa )
I have VS(2010/2003), CR Developer 9.2.3.1699.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks
Where to start...
The Log on to repository thingy is referring to the shared repository if BusinessObjects Enterprise. You seem to have the standalone version, so don't worry about that.
Press F1 for help. The help files are fairly good. Not great, but good.
Try Report->Selection Formulas-Record. This limits the individual records going into the report by that criteria. Likewise with Report->Selection Formulas->Group
Database->Verify Database (Self-explanatory)
Database->Database Expert and Database->Set Datasource Location are both very helpful in figuring out where the report gets it's data from.
This is a full-featured program. When I first saw it, it took me 3 months to get a decent working knowledge. You won't learn the details of it overnight.

What to do with XML Files generated by my Application

I am making an application that persists several different user settings. The way I have done it is just to serialize my collections (with the settings in them) to XML files.
As they are changed I update the saved file so that when the user runs again, the settings are saved.
As I get going with this style of persistence, I am finding that I have a lot of XML files.
Is this normal? Is it ok to litter my installed directory with configuration xmls files?
Is there a way to hide these files? Maybe a trick to save them as a resource under one file name?
This is not a really urgent issue. It does not really bug me to have the XML files there, but I thought I would ask.
I am using C# and VS 2008.
Can you not at least put them in their own folder? "/App_Data" for example? Beyond that... If you are getting a lot of files, what are the chances of being able to switch to a database? (SQLLite or something along those lines)

Eclipse diff for large file shows incorrect differences

I am not sure if anybody has experienced this.
I am working with a very large file having 7000 lines of code.
I made a lot of changes and when i compared the file with the repository version, it showed me incorrect differences.
I guess the diff algorithm buffers only limited number of lines ahead/behind for searching the current line, and on failing to find that, it simply shows diff with current line in new file.

If anybody knows any workaround, please let me know.
Thanks
Easy workaround - use another diff tool. I'm serious. I wouldn't waste time splitting up my files, or wondering how to get it to work with Eclipse's diff tool if there's some known issue with really big files.
I recommend Beyond Compare 3. I say this having used many different diff tools. It's not free, but it's worth it. In the rare chance that it gets confused, it allows you to with a couple of clicks realign any areas that it got confused on. I have used it with some pretty large files, and it rocks.
If you're concerned about Eclipse integration, there's even a plugin, BeyondCVS, that allows you to launch your Beyond Compare diffing from the Eclipse right click 'Compare' menus. Its name is kind of misleading though, as it doesn't appear to be related to CVS.
If you need something free, try one of these diff tools instead:
WinMerge
SourceGear DiffMerge
What version of eclipse are you using? And what edition? (Java? CDT? ...)
Depending on those data, it could make a difference, since files with several thousand lines are known to be a problem for the diff algorithm.
See this thread for illustration.
And do check, as mentioned in the same thread, your error log to check if any particular message could help you to pinpoint the cause of the failed diff.
