StatTrack

StatTrack is a small program for recording a computer's CPU utilization, memory usage, and the amount of incoming and outgoing traffic. Measurements are made once per second, and data can be stored either in csv-format or in a sqlite database.

Installation

To install StatTrack, you need make and go. Next, clone this repository and run

make build

in the repository's root.

Usage

StatTrack has four options that can be set by the user.

• -d: sets the output directory in which the data will be stored. StatTrack will create the directory if it doesn't exist.

• -m: sets which statistics to track. The following options are available.

  • 0: CPU utilization
  • 1: memory usage
  • 2: bytes transmitted and received

  It is possible to set multiple values by repeating the flag with different values, i.e., -d 0 -d 1 -d 2.

• -o: sets the output type. The available are csv and sqlite.

• -t: sets the duration in seconds.

Extending StatTrack

New statistics can be added by creating a new MeasurementType in pkg/measurements/measurement.go and adjust the code where there is a switch on the MeasurementType.
