zpool-status 0.2

Parse output from zpool status

zpool-status

Parse output from the zpool status ZFS command in Python.

About

This project contains:

1. A Python module zpool_status.py that converts zpool status output into a Python datastructure.
2. A Python script zpool-status that serves as a drop-in replacement for the zpool status command that produces JSON output.

Install

Install zpool-status using pip:

$ pip install zpool-status

Command-line interface

The zpool-status script provides a command-line interface that is identical to the one of zpool-status(1). The only difference is that zpool-status produces JSON output.

zpool-status [-c [script1[,script2]...]] [-igLpPstvx] [-T d|u] [pool] ... [interval [count]]

[!NOTE] The -D option that produces deduplication statistics is currently not supported.

Example

Suppose we get the following output from zpool status:

$ zpool status -v tank
  pool: tank
 state: UNAVAIL
status: One or more devices are faulted in response to IO failures.
action: Make sure the affected devices are connected, then run 'zpool clear'.

 scrub: scrub completed after 0h0m with 0 errors on Tue Feb  2 13:08:42 2010
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        tank        UNAVAIL      0     0     0  insufficient replicas
          c1t0d0    ONLINE       0     0     0
          c1t1d0    UNAVAIL      4     1     0  cannot open

errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files: 

/tank/data/aaa
/tank/data/bbb
/tank/data/ccc

The following shell command line:

$ zpool-status -v tank

is identical to the this Python code:

import json
from zpool_status import ZPool

zpool = ZPool("tank", options=["-v"])
status = zpool.get_status()

print(json.dumps(status, indent=2))

Both produce this output:
