supervisor-sysinfo

a supervisor rpc extension for obtaining the hosts system and process information.

Requirements

  • Python 2.7+
  • supervisor 3.0+
  • psutil

Why

I use supervisor on many of my servers for control and monitoring and I needed a way to interrogate the sevrers for top, df and ps type information. Rather than have my own status server I’ve extended supervisor’s XML-RPC api to offer two new functions:
  • sysinfo.ps which returns a dictionary keyed by pid of the output of ps aux.
  • sysinfo.sysInfo which reruns cpu, memory and disk usage information.

Both functions return json strings. I do this as a work around the 32-bit int limitation of the XML-RPC standard.

Installation

Use the usual ways:

pip install git+https://github.com/thanos/supervisor-sysinfo.git

Setup

In your supervisor.conf file setup:

[inet_http_server]
port = *:9002
username = very_safe
password = very_safe

Uncomment:

[rpcinterface:supervisor]
supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface

Add:

      [rpcinterface:sysinfo]
      supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor_sysinfo.rpcinterface:make_sysinfo_rpcinterface

[eventlistener:monitor]
command=supervisor_monitor http://some_end_point.com:7000/monitor
events= TICK_60

Usage

You can look at the test code but effectively you need to do this:

import xmlrpclib,pprint, json

rpc_proxy =  xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://very_safe:very_safe@127.0.0.1:9002')

ps_list = json.loads(rpc_proxy.sysinfo.ps())
pprint.pprint(ps_list)

sysInfo =  json.loads(rpc_proxy.sysinfo.sysInfo())
pprint.pprint(sysInfo)

Development

To run the all tests run:
