generate snapshot statistics to html file ?

[centminmod]

I do a lot of stress load testing of my servers for comparison benchmarks with different web server configurations i.e. nginx vs apache vs openlitespeed/litespeed vs caddy for http/1.1 and http/2 etc. Part of that process is gathering system level stats for cpu, memory and disk usage etc.

Was wondering if netdata has any planned or existing feature which would allow us to generate a moment in time snapshot of all server statistics and save them to a html file or their own /snapshot/timestamp/* directory for viewing or posting along with my benchmark results ?

ok, we already have this.

You can generate snapshots in JSON, CSV, HTML.
Check the API documentation.

Examples (all these dump the last 600 seconds of data):

JSON

http://netdata.firehol.org/api/v1/data?chart=system.cpu&before=0&after=-600&options=seconds

CSV

http://netdata.firehol.org/api/v1/data?chart=system.cpu&before=0&after=-600&options=seconds&format=csv

CSV with TABs

http://netdata.firehol.org/api/v1/data?chart=system.cpu&before=0&after=-600&options=seconds&format=tsv

HTML

http://netdata.firehol.org/api/v1/data?chart=system.cpu&before=0&after=-600&options=seconds&format=html

You can also save them in a format that can directly be loaded to google charts.

http://netdata.firehol.org/api/v1/data?chart=system.cpu&before=0&after=-600&format=datatable

In this case, you can also append tqx= with options supported by google charts.
