Real Time Server and Client for dstat tool using WebSockets

This is a simple WebSockets based Dstat Server & Client. You can run it on your local or remote server, and use it to realtime monitoring.

With a beatifull Highcharts lib, this tool becomes very helpfull when you want to do some benchmarks on your server, and to see it as a graph, rather then dry numbers.

DRAFT!!!!

To install it on the server:

1. Install dstat
2. Install additional plugins just by copying .py files from any repository to /usr/share/dstat/plugins
3. Test it by running "dstat" in console
4. Clone https://github.com/spaiz/dstatrt.git repository or download and unzip https://github.com/spaiz/dstatrt/archive/master.zip
5. Cut & past dstatrt/client directory to local storage. This is your web client.
6. Upload dstatrt directory to the server without the client directory.
7. Install node's modules by typing npm install from dstatrt directory
8. Run it from dstatrt directory by running node app.js

Install process. I assume you have node.js, Python and git preinstalled. Run this in terminal as root:

1. apt-get install dstat
2. cd ~
3. git clone https://github.com/spaiz/dstatrt.git
4. cd dstatrt
5. npm install
6. node start.js
7. Open client/index.html file in any browser. Best works with Chrome.

You can edit dstatrt/config.js file. You can enable/disable dstat plugins, defined enviroment variables for MySQL, Mongodb, Redis ad etc.

Additional notes. To be able to use such helpfull plugins as mysql5-* and mongoddb, you must have this things to be installed.

• "pip install pymongo" to be able use --mongodb plugin
• "apt-get install python-mysqldb" to be able to use --mysql5-* plugins
• Remember to change login & password for MySQL in dstat/config.js
• Remember to copy mongodb plugin dstat_mongodb_cmds.py from https://github.com/gianpaj/dstat/tree/master/plugins to /usr/share/dstat/plugins/ to be able use plugin --mongodb-cmds

Official dstat github: https://github.com/dagwieers/dstat

You can also download additional plugins (for example dstat_mongodb_cmds.py) from here: https://github.com/gianpaj/dstat/tree/master/plugins

p.s

Have a problem? Do debug: true in config and run node worker.

1. Problem: No module named MySQLdb

   Solution: sudo pip2.7 install MySQL-python

2. Module dstat_memcache_hits failed to load. (Plugin needs the memcache module)

   Solution: sudo apt-get install memcached sudo apt-get install libmemcached-tools
