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!
