# 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! |
