stats-collect - a tool for collecting and visualising system statistics and telemetry.

-h

Show this help message and exit.

-q

Be quiet.

-d

Print debugging information.

--version

Print version and exit.

--force-color

Force coloring of the text output.

stats-collect deploy

Deploy stats-collect helpers.

stats-collect start

Start the measurements.

stats-collect report

Create an HTML report.

usage: stats-collect deploy [-h] [-q] [-d] [--tmpdir-path TMPDIR_PATH] [--keep-tmpdir] [-H HOSTNAME] [-U USERNAME] [-K PRIVKEY] [-T TIMEOUT]

Deploy stats-collect helpers to a remote SUT (System Under Test).

-h

Show this help message and exit.

-q

Be quiet.

-d

Print debugging information.

--tmpdir-path TMPDIR_PATH

When 'stats-collect' is deployed, a random temporary directory is used. Use this option provide a custom path instead. It will be used as a temporary directory on both local and remote hosts. This option is meant for debugging purposes.

--keep-tmpdir

Do not remove the temporary directories created while deploying 'stats-collect'. This option is meant for debugging purposes.

-H HOSTNAME, --host HOSTNAME

Name of the host to run the command on.

-U USERNAME, --username USERNAME

Name of the user to use for logging into the remote host over SSH. The default user name is 'root'.

-K PRIVKEY, --priv-key PRIVKEY

Path to the private SSH key that should be used for logging into the remote host. By default the key is automatically found from standard paths like '~/.ssh'.

-T TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT

SSH connect timeout in seconds, default is 8.

usage: stats-collect start [-h] [-q] [-d] [-H HOSTNAME] [-U USERNAME] [-K PRIVKEY] [-T TIMEOUT] [--cpunum CPUNUM] [--time-limit LIMIT] [-o OUTDIR] [--reportid REPORTID] [--stats STATS] [--stats-intervals STATS_INTERVALS] [--report] cmd [cmd ...]

Start collecting statistics.

cmd

Command to run on the SUT during statistics collection. If 'HOSTNAME' is provided, the tool will run the command on that host, otherwise the tool will run the command on 'localhost'.

-h

Show this help message and exit.

-q

Be quiet.

-d

Print debugging information.

-H HOSTNAME, --host HOSTNAME

Name of the host to run the command on.

-U USERNAME, --username USERNAME

Name of the user to use for logging into the remote host over SSH. The default user name is 'root'.

-K PRIVKEY, --priv-key PRIVKEY

Path to the private SSH key that should be used for logging into the remote host. By default the key is automatically found from standard paths like '~/.ssh'.

-T TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT

SSH connect timeout in seconds, default is 8.

--cpunum CPUNUM

If the executed command stresses a particular CPU number, you can specify it via this option so that the number is saved in the test result and later the 'stats-collect report' command will take this into account while generating the test report.

--time-limit LIMIT

The time limit for statistics collection, after which the collection will stop if the command 'cmd' (given as a positional argument) has not finished executing.

-o OUTDIR, --outdir OUTDIR

--reportid REPORTID

Any string which may serve as an identifier of this run. By default report ID is the current date, prefixed with the remote host name in case the '-H' option was used: [hostname-]YYYYMMDD. For example, "20150323" is a report ID for a run made on March 23, 2015. The allowed characters are: ACSII alphanumeric, '-', '.', ',', '_', and '~'.

--stats STATS

Comma-separated list of statistics to collect. They are stored in the the "stats" sub-directory of the output directory. By default, only 'turbostat, sysinfo' statistics are collected. Use 'all' to collect all possible statistics. Use '--stats=""' or '--stats="none"' to disable statistics collection. If you know exactly what statistics you need, specify the comma-separated list of statistics to collect. For example, use 'turbostat,acpower' if you need only turbostat and AC power meter statistics. You can also specify the statistics you do not want to be collected by pre-pending the '!' symbol. For example, 'all,!turbostat' would mean: collect all the statistics supported by the SUT, except for 'turbostat'. Use the '--list-stats' option to get more information about available statistics. By default, only 'sysinfo' statistics are collected.

--stats-intervals STATS_INTERVALS

The intervals for statistics. Statistics collection is based on doing periodic snapshots of data. For example, by default the 'acpower' statistics collector reads SUT power consumption for the last second every second, and 'turbostat' default interval is 5 seconds. Use

--report

usage: stats-collect report [-h] [-q] [-d] [-o OUTDIR] [--reportids REPORTIDS] respaths [respaths ...]

Create an HTML report for one or multiple test results.

respaths

One or multiple stats-collect test result paths.

-h

Show this help message and exit.

-q

Be quiet.

-d

Print debugging information.

-o OUTDIR, --outdir OUTDIR

Path to the directory to store the report at. By default the report is stored in the 'stats-collect-report-<reportid>' sub-directory of the test result directory. If there are multiple test results, the report is stored in the current directory. The '<reportid>' is report ID of stats-collect test result.

--reportids REPORTIDS

Every input raw result comes with a report ID. This report ID is basically a short name for the test result, and it used in the HTML report to refer to the test result. However, sometimes it is helpful to temporarily override the report IDs just for the HTML report, and this is what the '--reportids' option does. Please, specify a comma-separated list of report IDs for every input raw test result. The first report ID will be used for the first raw rest result, the second report ID will be used for the second raw test result, and so on. Please, refer to the '--reportid' option description in the 'start' command for more information about the report ID.
