Strata Blog

We’re in the midst of putting together video tutorials that cover each of Strata’s main features.  I figure I’d leak some of these ahead of time on this blog, as many may find them useful.

This first video is sort of a basic “rules of the road” for getting around the Strata interface.  It’s a little over 3 minutes long and covers things like using tabs, panels, various views, and controls in the table view like moving columns and editing.

If you’re an expert Strata user, you’ve probably already got these bases covered.  However,  there’s a good shot that many people will probably pick up at least one thing new.

More rogue tutorial videos to be posted soon…

It’s been almost one year since we released the beta version of Kirix Strata to the public.  During that beta cycle, we provided several videos and screencasts via our blog to emphasize different things the software could do.

Thankfully, even though the videos show the beta version in action, almost all of the content is extremely relevant for the final version of Strata as well.  The only variance really has to do with the user interface; we ended up moving around icons and toolbars and menu items quite a bit until we got something that seemed to work best.  Oh, and you may see the original Strata logo that we threw together for the beta.

So, maybe you can consider this blog post your Tivo or on-demand video page for “Season 1″ of Kirix Strata.  Here are the five links, with details and highlights of each one below:

• Access and Manipulate Data from the Web
• Identify Embedded Search Terms within Apache Web Logs
