Simple view of vCenter data
Project description
vcenter-info - Simple view of vCenter data
Overview
This project is used for making some simple queries to one or more vCenter host and rendering the results in a simple way, as a npm-managed React app with Flask. There's also a console script that outputs vm statistics in influx line protocol format.
Package-based installation
Create a (python 3) virtualenv and install using one of the following methods:
From PyPi
$ pip install vcenter-info
From Source
$ python setup.py sdist
$ pip install dist/vcenter-info-x.y.z.tar.gz
Running
Configuration
Use config-example.json
as a template to
create a configuration file.
When running the server an environment variable called
CONFIG_FILENAME
and containing the path to this
configuration file must be present.
Starting the Server
CONFIG_FILENAME=config.json FLASK_APP=vcenter_info flask run
Note: if you are running from a source distribution and didn't install it in your virtualenv, you should execute the above from the top-level folder.
Alternatively, using the provided app.py
might sometimes be convenient when developing:
CONFIG_FILENAME=config.json python vcenter_info/app.py
or:
CONFIG_FILENAME=config.json python -m vcenter_info.app
Running the Console Check
Usage: check-vcenter-vms [OPTIONS]
Options:
--measurement TEXT influx measurement name [required]
--config FILENAME config filename [required]
--help Show this message and exit.
