opensim-arff

Scripts to produce ARFF files (Weka) from Opensim's database and logs. This code uses to Opensim.log and Robust.log to extract info about teleports, sessions, etc. Also, the code uses a MySQL connection to gather data about users, terrains, user groups, etc.

All the info is saved in JSON files. Some data are also stored in ARFF files (valid for Weka software) to be used in data mining algorithms and processes.
