# Riaknostic # Riaknostic


Riaknostic performs basic diagnostics on Riak nodes. Riaknostic performs basic diagnostics on Riak nodes. See the
[Riaknostic homepage](http://riaknostic.basho.com) for user-oriented
information.


## Building ## Development


To build Riaknostic execute the following command Riaknostic requires a sane GNU build system and a recent version of
Erlang. It has `lager` and `getopt` as dependencies, so those must be
compatible with your version of Erlang. Release versions are currently
built with R14B03. See the `rebar.config` file for more details.


./rebar get-deps compile escriptize To build Riaknostic, simply run `make`:


This will compile and package Riaknostic into a Erlang shell script. ```bash
$ make
./rebar get-deps
==> riaknostic (get-deps)
Pulling lager from {git,"git://github.com/basho/lager",{branch,"master"}}
Cloning into lager...
Pulling getopt from {git,"git://github.com/jcomellas/getopt.git","2981dfe"}
Cloning into getopt...
==> lager (get-deps)
==> getopt (get-deps)
./rebar compile

## Usage Now you can invoke the script manually via the below command:


riaknostic [-h] [-l] [-dir <riak directory>] [-bitcask_threshold <int> [-bitcask_threshold_type <type>]] [<module,...>] ```bash
$ ./riaknostic --etc ~/code/riak/rel/riak/etc --base ~/code/riak/rel/riak --user `whoami` [other options]
```


-h Show the program options To generate the edoc reference, use `make docs` and then open the
-l List available riaknostic modules `doc/index.html` file in your browser. Detailed discussion of the
-dir Specify the location of riak internal APIs that you can use in developing new diagnostics is found
-bitcask_threshold The size in bytes to be considered a large value in the edocs.
-bitcask_threshold_type Check blob_size, sibling_count, or vclock_length
module A diagnostic. By default, all riaknostics are run


## TODO ## Contributing


- Control over output verbosity 1. Fork the project on [Github](https://github.com/basho/riaknostic).
- More riaknostics 2. Make your changes or additions on a "topic" branch, test and
- Siblings check document them. If you are making a new diagnostic, make sure you
give some module-level information about the checks it
performs. *Note*: diagnostics _should not_ make modifications to
Riak, only inspect things.
3. Push to your fork and send a pull-request.
4. A Basho Developer Advocate or Engineer will review your
pull-request and get back to you.
