Matterhorn agent dashboard

MH-DashBoard

MH-DashBoard is a simple monitor for Matterhorn/Galicaster agents.

It has two parts, a web page and a python script.

Requirements

• A linux machine holding the python script, and vncsnapshot and convert utilities installed (Maybe you'll need to apt-get vncsnapshot and imagemagick)
• A web server, that can be on the same machine of the script or not.
• (Optional, but highly recommended) VNC server on each capture agent, to be able to capture the screen.

How to install?

1. Copy the folder named "web", that holds the .html and .css somewhere in your web server.
2. Copy the folder named "script" to the linux box you use to run the actual monitor
3. Modify the example config file in /script/etc
4. Execute the script. Usually you will do it inside of a cron job

The script generate the json file needed by the web page, and you can call the script to your crontab file like */5 * * * * /monitor/script/dashboard.py -c /monitor/script/etc/mh-dashboard/dashboard.conf >> /monitor/log/dashboard.log
