Introduction

A Django application for remotely monitoring servers using SSH.

In background (crontabed jobs) Skwissh uses Python Fabric to execute SSH commands, aka. "sensors", get the output and store timestamped values. Measures are taken every minute.

On the other side, Skwissh is able to display nice charts (linechart, piechart or simple text) with aggregated measures.

Default sensors available (tested on Ubuntu 12.04) :

• Memory
• CPU
• WaitIO
• Load Averages
• Disk usage
• Top

But you can easily add your own ones !!

Visit the Skwissh demo (username test / password test).

Installation

Add skwissh and kronos to your Django INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'kronos',
    'skwissh',
)

Add Skwissh to your urls.py:

# Skwissh
url(r'^skwissh/', include('skwissh.urls')),

Synchronize your database (this command will load defaut sensors through fixtures):

./manage.py syncdb

Install Skwissh tasks (will write to your user crontab, thanks to 'django-kronos'):

./manage.py installtasks

You can check that 4 crontab job have been configured:

crontab -l

You're ready to go ! Connect to the application and start configure your servers and sensors !
