tuptime | statistical real time of the system | Monitoring library

tuptime is a Python library typically used in Performance Management, Monitoring applications. tuptime has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. However tuptime build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

It doesn’t run as a daemon, at least, it only needs execution when the init manager startup and shutdown the system. To avoid issues with a switch off without a proper shutdown, like power failures, a cron job and a .timer unit are shipped with the project to update the registers each n minutes. As a system administrator, you can easily choose the best number for your particular system requirements. It is written in Python using common modules and as few as possible, quick execution, easy to see what is inside it, and modify it for fit for your particular use case. It registers the times in a sqlite database. Any other software can use it. The specs are in the tuptime-manual.txt. Also, it has the option to output the registers in seconds and epoch or/and in csv format, easy to pipe it to other commands. Its main purpose is tracking all the system startups/shutdowns and present that information to the user in a more understandable way. Don’t have mail alerts when a milestones are reached or the limitation of keep the last n records. It’s written to avoid false startups registers. This is an issue that sometimes happens when the NTP adjust the system clock, on virtualized environments, on servers with high load, when the system resynchronized with their RTC clock after a suspend and resume cycle…​. Registers as a table or list ordering by any label. The whole life of the system or only a part of it, closing the range between startups/shutdowns or timestamps. Accumulated running and sleeping time over an uptime. The kernel version used and boot idenfiers. The system state at specific point in time.
