Nodestat

A simple commandline tool that connects to a list of hosts in the network and checks their basic usage statistics.

Installation

Simplest way: Compiled C version without any dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/tszoldra/nodestat.git
$ cd nodestat
$ ./main ns.conf

# resize the terminal to have a wide window

Python version: Installation of dependencies via requirements.txt:

$ git clone https://github.com/tszoldra/nodestat.git
$ cd nodestat
$ python3 -m venv myenv
$ source myenv/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 main.py ns.conf

# resize the terminal to have a wide window

Usage

For C compiled version the program help:

$ ./main -h

or (in Python version)

$ python3 main.py -h

gives the following output:

usage: main.py [-h] [-n NAME [NAME ...]] [-s] config_file

Show usage of computation nodes. Warning: resize the terminal window to a large width.

positional arguments:
  config_file           configuration file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -n NAME [NAME ...], --name NAME [NAME ...]
                        check only nodes given in the command line (discarding those from config file)
  -s, --short           show the basic info only

Replace the values in ns.conf.example with your values and rename this file to ns.conf:

• REMOTE_HOSTNAME_LIST: IP addresses or URLs of remote hosts with spaces between, eg. 'zoa8 clone108'
• REMOTE_USERNAME: Username for remote host.
• REMOTE_PATH: Remote directory to serve as destination for temporary script file uploads.

Example how to show stats for nodes specified in the command line rather than in the config file:

./main ns.conf -n zoa8 clone107 

Remember to never commit secrets saved in config files to Github or anywhere else.
