Hi,
We are using legato 7.2 on a Solaris 9 server. For the moment we have
nearly 160 unix clients and 40 Nt clients. Next year probably 250 clients.
Every day 14 savegroups are started and in the morning we check all
those mails. It's difficult to have a global view. Sometimes we were
wondering how long a savegroup is running, in which savegroup to put a
new client, ...
We have the following setup :
1) The mails from the savegroup completion are filtered.
Savegroups who are running less then 1 minute are deleted. (skipped
savegroups) Then, the mails are written to a directory. They look like
mail_temp_2005-11-30_8933 (the date + proces id). The mails are also
send to our administrators.
2) Every weekday at 10. AM a cronjob, crontimeplot.py is started. This
program will start timeplot.py (another python program) with the corrct
arguments.
ex. timeplot.py -s 2005/11/29-18:00:0
3) The main program (timeplot.py)
This is also a python program with needs the chardirector libraries
(http://www.advsofteng.com/gallery.html) At the end it will create a
legato.png gantt graphic.
The program looks like :
timeplot.py [-v] [-s begindate] [-e enddate] [files]
-v : print the input files
-s : filter dates starting after a specific date, default is
"2000/1/1-00:00:00"
-e : filter dates before a specific date, default is
"2999/12/31-23:59:59"
date format : yyyy/mm/dd-hh:mm:ss
ex.
timeplot -v mail-2005-10-*
timeplot -s 2005/10/21-00:00:00
timeplot -s 2005/10/21-00:00:00 -e 2005/10/24-10:00:00 mail*
If you don't specify files, all the files in the
"MAIL_DIRECTORY" variable are going to be read
Don't forget to change the "MAIL_DIRECTORY" variable in the
beginning of the program !
The output file legato.png is written to the directory where you
started timeplot.py
Change the OUTPUT_PNG variabele in the beginning of the program !
This program reads the first 3 lines of the savegroup completion mails.
All the mails after 2005/11/29-18:00:0 (in this case) are read and at
the end it makes a gantt char. The Y-as are the savegroups (14 in our
case) and the X-as the time. Savegroups who ara marked red, have clients
which had backup problems. The green one, runs without any problems.
But it is no problem to make a char from de last week or month. It
looks like an DNA structure.
I really like to distribute those python programs. Also, no problem to
send one of our png files to show the result. What is the best way to
distribute them ??
