A company, that advertised here on the last "Who's Hiring" sent me a code project.

Wasn't quite enough to be 'you're doing a sprint item for us', but merited decent effort:

- write a log monitoring console program that consumes an actively written to file

- parse out specific parts of the log and aggregate them every 15s, display summary data

- generate 'alert' notification when log messages/second (over the last two minutes rolling average) exceeds a threshold

- remove notification when fall back under this limit

- continue to generate stats while doing so

- develop some unit tests to demonstrate alert logic

This is, at least to me, _several_ hours of decent work. Certainly was nearly 500 lines of code.

Submitted.

"Thanks for this. We'll review."

Last I ever heard.

Thanks.
