Quick Look is a package to collect system statistics and output pretty graphics and (X)HTML pages. It allows system administrators to have a quick look on the status of their systems, without going for a more advanced (and heavier) solution.
Quick Look currently shows...
- CPU and memory usage
- Load average and process spawning rates
- I/O operations
- Network traffic rates
- Tracked network connections
- Python 2.3 or newer
- Cheetah 0.9.16 or newer
- Linux 2.4.27 or newer, 2.6.8 or newer
- rrdtool 1.0.49 or newer
- python-rrd 0.2.1 or newer
Older versions of any of these packages may work, but haven't been tested.
To install Quick Look into /opt/quicklook
, just run the following commands:
make DESTDIR=/opt/quicklook install
cp extras/quicklook.cron /etc/cron.d/quicklook
By default, data files are stored in /var/opt/quicklook
and webpages are
generated into the /var/www/quicklook
directory. If you wish to make changes
to the output directories, or you chose a different installation directory, edit
the quicklook.cron
file before copying it.
Quick Look will now collect data and generate webpages every five minutes. No
other steps are needed, but you can always run stats.py
without parameters to
check out the options available.
