Overview

wtop for running statistics

wtop is like “top” for your web server. How many searches or sign-ups are happening per second? What is the response time histogram for your static files? wtop shows you at a glance.

logrep for webserver log analysis

logrep is a powerful command-line program for ad-hoc analysis and filtering. Spot-check page performance, errors, aggregate statistics, etc.

Spot-check page performance, errors, aggregate statistics, etc:

$ logrep -o 'status,count(*),avg(msec),min(msec),max(msec)' access.log
200 4196    244.58  3   589
302 5   79.75   17  42
404 1   9.00    9   9
304 798 158.76  0   694

See how robot traffic rises and falls by day:

$ logrep --robots-only --output \
    'botname,month,day,count(*),avg(msec),dev(msec)' --sort '30:1,2,3:asc'
Googlebot   7   20  1090    1045.97 1.65
Googlebot   7   21  771 3082.58 2.08
Googlebot   7   22  1177    1278.14 1.89
Googlebot   7   23  1134    1841.48 2.59
Googlebot   7   24  1057    1636.69 2.81
Googlebot   7   25  536 1210.78 2.10
...

Query for specific strings and conditions:

$ logrep -f "status=200,bytes>1000,msec<1000,url~Paris" \
    -o ts,msec,bytes,url
1213574430      125     47396   /Paris-Hilton

Python Compatibility

This library currently requires compatibility with:

  • 2.6

  • 2.7

However, additional versions are tested automatically:

https://travis-ci.org/ClockworkNet/wtop.svg?branch=master

Installation

This will put logrep and wtop in your executable path, and drop the default wtop.cfg into a location appropriate to the installation (platform appropriate path separaters are used). It searches for the config in the following order:

  1. VirtualEnv + /etc/wtop.cfg

  2. PYTHONUSERBASE + /etc/wtop.cfg

  3. USER_BASE + /etc/wtop.cfg

  4. Python Lib + /etc/wtop.cfg

  5. /etc/wtop.cfg

Invoke logrep -d to see which location it used.

wtop/logrep require Python version 2.6 or greater.

From from PyPI

wtop can be installed from PyPI via pip like so:

sudo pip install wtop

Install from Source

The wtop source can be downloaded from the GitHub releases.

This is a Python source distribution. Install it like so:

sudo python setup.py install

Debian, Ubuntu, Windows, etc.

See Install - wtop wiki.

Testing Quick Start

  1. Change directory into repository (into same directory as where this README resides).

  2. Install virtual environment:

    mkvirtualenv -a . -r tests/requirements.txt wtop_test
    1. If installing requirements errors, update pip:

      pip install --upgrade pip
    2. Install requirements:

      pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
  3. Run pytest:

    py.test

To test against alternate Python versions, it may be useful to create virtual environments with an interpreter other than the one with which virtualenv was installed, e.g. for non-default python3:

mkvirtualenv -a $(pwd) -p $(which python3) -r tests/requirements.txt wtop_test3
