cstat

A visual stat tool for CrateDB clusters.

cstat is ispired by the awesome interactive process monitoring tool htop. cstat should be a similar tool to iostat, but for monitoring CrateDB clusters.

Requirements

cstat requires Python >= 3.6 and can connect to CrateDB >= 2.3.

Installation

cstat is available from Pypi so you can install it using pip.

pip install cstat

If you want to get the latest features and fixes, you can also install it directly from Github.

pip install git+https://github.com/chaudum/crate-top.git@master

Usage

After installation you can monitor CrateDB running on localhost with default configuration by invoking the following command:

>>> cstat --user crate

A full list of command line arguments are listed when invoking cstat with the --help argument:

>>> cstat --help
usage: cstat [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--interval INTERVAL]
             [--user USER] [--version]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --host HOST, --crate-host HOST
                        CrateDB host to connect to
  --port PORT, --psql-port PORT
                        PSQL port of CrateDB host
  --interval INTERVAL, --refresh-interval INTERVAL
                        amount of time in seconds between each update
  --user USER, --db-user USER
                        database user

Keyboard Shortcuts

• 0 ... toggle cluster info
• 1 ... show utilization for CPU, process, memory, heap and disk
• 2 ... show I/O statistics for network and disk
• 3 ... show aggregated query duration based on jobs_log
• x ... toggle nodes/aggregation view
• f3 ... enable/disable job logging (this also sets the stats.jobs_log cluster setting)
