taust-client

taust-client allows to monitor some metrics of a server (CPU, memory and disks space). You’ll need a running instance of taust to be able to use taust-client.

taust-client is written in Python and is licensed under AGPL 3.

taust is now done. It means no new feature will be added, but it’s still maintained. I’ve been using it for few years and I’m happy with the current version. However, I may encounter some bugs or security issues: I intend to fix them.

Installation

Clone the repository on your server:

# git clone https://github.com/flusio/taust-client.git /opt/taust-client

Install dependencies, e.g. for Debian:

# apt install python3-dev gcc
# pip3 install -r /opt/taust-client/requirements.txt

Add a server to monitor on your taust instance and copy the token it gives you. Then, create a .env file:

# vim /opt/taust-client/.env
# chmod 400 /opt/taust-client/.env

ENDPOINT=https://your-taust-instance.example.org
AUTH_TOKEN=the-taust-token

If you want to monitor specific disks instead of letting taust discover them, set a DISKS environment variable in this same file. Disks are separated by commas:

DISKS=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1

Finally, setup a systemd file:

# vim /etc/systemd/system/taust-client.service
