assart

According to Wikipedia, Assarting is the act of clearing forested lands for use in agriculture or other purposes. In English land law, it was illegal to assart any part of a royal forest without permission.

In our case, assart is A simple S3 analytic reporting tool_

Note: This is an experimental project and the codebase is not yet ready for serious usage.

Getting started

Installation

Due to the experimental nature of the project, it is recommended that assart be installed into a virtual environment like so:

$ cd ~/venvs
$ python3 -m venv assartenv
$ source assartenv/bin/activate
$ pip install assart

Configuration

assart utilizes the AWS Python SDK (boto3). By convention, boto3 sources your AWS credentials and default region from the following locations:

$ cat ~/.aws/credentials
[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

$ cat ~/.aws/config
[default]
region = us-east-1

Usage

$ assart -h
usage: assart [-h] [-u {KB,MB,GB}]

A simple S3 analytics reporting tool

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -u {KB,MB,GB}, --unit {KB,MB,GB}
                        Unit of Size

Running

With your credentials configured, the program can be run like so:

$ assart

By default the program will output a list of the user's s3 buckets, and for each bucket will provide:

• The Bucket name
• The Creation date of the bucket
• The Number of files in the bucket
• The Total size of the files in the bucket
• The Last modified date of the most recent file
