plotman | The screenshot shows some of the main features of Plotman

plotman is a Python library. plotman has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However plotman build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

The screenshot shows some of the main features of Plotman. The first line shows the status. The plotting status shows whether we just started a plot, or, if not, why not (e.g., stagger time, tmp directories being ready, etc.; in this case, the 1800s stagger between plots has not been reached yet). Archival status says whether we are currently archiving (and provides the rsync pid) or whether there are no plots available in the dst drives to archive. The second line provides a key to some directory abbrevations used throughout. For tmp and dst directories, we assume they have a common prefix, which is computed and indicated here, after which they can be referred to (in context) by their unique suffix. For example, if we have tmp dirs /mnt/tmp/00, /mnt/tmp/01, /mnt/tmp/02, etc., we show /mnt/tmp as the prefix here and can then talk about tmp dirs 00 or 01 etc. The archive directories are the same except that these are paths on a remote host and accessed via an rsyncd module (see config.yaml for details). The next table shows information about the active plotting jobs. It is abbreviated to show the most and least recently started jobs (the full list is available via the command line mode). It shows various information about the plot jobs, including the plot ID (first 8 chars), the directories used, walltime, the current plot phase and subphase, space used on the tmp drive, pid, etc. The next tables are a bit hard to read; there is actually a tmp table on the left which is split into two tables for rendering purposes, and a dst table on the right. The tmp tables show the phases of the plotting jobs using them, and whether or not they're ready to take a new plot job. The dst table shows how many plots have accumulated, how much free space is left, and the phases of jobs that are destined to write to them, and finally, the priority computed for the archive job to move the plots away. The last table simply shows free space of drives on the remote harverster/farmer. Finally, the last section shows a log of actions performed -- namely, plot and archive jobs initiated. This is the one part of the interactive tool which is stateful. There is no permanent record of these executed command lines, so if you start a new interactive plotman session, this log is empty.
