* Package name : wulfware Version : 2.6.0 Upstream Author : Robert G. Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Beowulf/wulfware/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : a cluster monitoring suite wulfware is a suite of applications that provide remote monitoring information on a beowulf- or GRID-style compute cluster, a server farm, or LAN. It consists of the following tools: . * xmlsysd, a daemon that runs on the host to be monitored. xmlsysd can be run under xinetd or as a standalone forking daemon. It extracts information from /proc, from systems calls, and from selected tools or files, packs it into a set of XML tags, and returns that information to the connected monitor host(s). The daemon can be throttled to return only the information a monitor interface requires to support a particular display. . * wulfstat, an ncurses based monitor interface. wulfstat permits one to monitor an entire cluster or LAN. Statistics it provides include a vmstat-like display, load averages only, network statistics only, memory information only, system configuration information and duty cycle only, and running processes with or without the full command line. A cluster or LAN can easily be defined with a few simple commands in an XML-based "wulfhosts" file. . * wulflogger, a command line monitor interface that extracts more or less the same data as wulfstat in similarly named displays and writes them in formatted lines to stdout. This data format can easily be parsed by scripting languages such as perl or python, or it can be piped into a file for an archival record of cluster activity. The data can thus be used to generate a variety of reports, including web or graphical reports. . * wulfweb, an perl-cgi script to generate a web view of cluster statistics using wulflogger. Currently this is basically a working perl template for data extraction that can be modified into whatever kind of display one likes. libwulf, the common library upon which wulfstat and wulflogger are based. It encapsulates the routines that parse wulfhosts and build the requisite data structures, manage the connections to all hosts, and poll all connected hosts and extract the desired data from the xmlsysd return. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
