psdash

psdash is a system information web dashboard for linux using data mainly served by psutil - hence the name.

Features includes:

• Overview
  Dashboard overview of the system displaying data on cpu, disks, network, users, memory, swap and network.

• Processes
  List processes (top like) and view detailed process information about each process.

  Apart from a detailed process overview this is also available for each process:

  • Open files
  • Open connections
  • Memory maps
  • Child processes
  • Resource limits

• Disks
  List info on all disks and partitions

• Network
  List info on all network interfaces and the current throughput.

• Logs
  Tail and search logs

• All data is updated automatically, no need to refresh

The GUI is pretty much a modified bootstrap example as I'm no designer at all. If you got a feel for design and like to improve the UI parts of psdash, please create a pull request with your changes. It would be much appreciated as there's much room for improvements.

Configuration

psdash uses the configuration handling offered by Flask. The configuration file pointed to by the environment varible PSDASH_CONFIG will be read on startup.
e.g: PSDASH_CONFIG=/home/user/config.py psdash --log /var/log/dmesg

Apart from Flask's built-in configuration values there's a few psdash specific ones as well:

PSDASH_AUTH_USERNAME
When this value and PSDASH_AUTH_PASSWORD is set, Basic Authentication will be enabled with the provided credentials. The username of the basic authentication

PSDASH_AUTH_PASSWORD
The password of the basic authentication

PSDASH_ALLOWED_REMOTE_ADDRESSES
If this is set, only provided ip addresses will be allowed to access psdash.

Addresses is separated by a comma.
eg: PSDASH_ALLOWED_REMOTE_ADDRESSES = "10.0.0.2, 192.29.20.2"
