Device Monitoring System

This project is a system for monitoring devices in a network. It captures various hardware metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, network availability and latency, and service availability. It integrates with Jira to create tickets for deviations.

Technical Implementation

The system consists of several modules:

• Database connection: The module db_utils.py establishes a connection to the MySQL database and executes SQL queries to retrieve device data.
• Hardware monitoring: The module hardware_utils.py uses the wmi library to obtain information about the hardware of the devices. It also uses the ping command to measure network latency.
• Jira integration: The module jira_utils.py implements the necessary configurations and the function create_jira_ticket to create a Jira ticket for a deviating device. The ticket contains detailed information about the detected deviation.
• Device monitoring: The main class DeviceMonitor in the module monitor.py monitors the devices. It is initialized with the database configuration and has the method monitor_devices. This method calls the database function run_sql_query to retrieve the device data. Then it uses the hardware monitoring functions to check the current metrics of the devices. In case of deviations, it creates corresponding Jira tickets by calling the function create_jira_ticket.
