# pyLSA
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A simple server statistics agent for Linux. Serves statistics over HTTP.
|
||
|
|
The goal is to keep it small and not require anything but the Python
|
||
|
|
standard libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Current status
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**In development.** Most is already there, but it still needs stuff
|
||
|
|
like configuration file reading, authentication, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How does it work?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PySFX is used to create a self-extracting 'transparent' installer that
|
||
|
|
compiles psutil locally (without installing it system-wide), and then
|
||
|
|
puts all the files for pyLSA (including your config!) in place. It
|
||
|
|
automatically starts pyLSA afterwards, and if you run the installer
|
||
|
|
again, it'll detect that pyLSA is already installed, and run the
|
||
|
|
existing installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How can I use it?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. (in the future) Modify the `pylsa.conf` file in the `installer/`
|
||
|
|
directory.
|
||
|
|
2. Run `build.sh`.
|
||
|
|
3. Upload the created `pylsa_sfx.py` file to any server that you'd like
|
||
|
|
to run your statistics agent on.
|
||
|
|
4. Run the SFX on each of those servers. If you are root, it will create
|
||
|
|
an unprivileged user for PyLSA and run it as that user. If you are an
|
||
|
|
unprivileged user, it will run it as your user. Future attempts to start
|
||
|
|
pyLSA using the installer will behave the same.
|
||
|
|
5. Done!
