tuptime
=======
Tuptime is a tool for report the historical and statistical real time of the system, keeping it between restarts. Like uptime command but with more interesting output.
### Basic Installation and usage
#### Package installation
* Debian: https://packages.debian.org/tuptime
* Ubuntu: https://packages.ubuntu.com/tuptime
* ArchLinux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tuptime
* FreeBSD: https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/tuptime
#### Manual installation
In a Linux or FreeBSD system...
Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/rfrail3/tuptime.git
Copy the "tuptime" file located under "latest/" directory to "/usr/bin/" and make it executable:
cp tuptime/src/tuptime /usr/bin/tuptime
chmod ugo+x /usr/bin/tuptime
Assure that the system pass the prerequisites:
python 3.X
Run first with a privileged user:
tuptime
#### Examples
Sample output after install:
System startups: 1 since 21:54:09 24/09/15
System shutdowns: 0 ok - 0 bad
System uptime: 100.0 % - 21 minutes and 30 seconds
System downtime: 0.0 % - 0 seconds
System life: 21 minutes and 30 seconds
Largest uptime: 21 minutes and 30 seconds from 21:54:09 24/09/15
Shortest uptime: 21 minutes and 30 seconds from 21:54:09 24/09/15
Average uptime: 21 minutes and 30 seconds
Largest downtime: 0 seconds
Shortest downtime: 0 seconds
Average downtime: 0 seconds
Current uptime: 21 minutes and 30 seconds since 21:54:09 24/09/15
If you do the same a few days after, the output may will be more similar to this:
System startups: 110 since 10:15:27 08/08/15
System shutdowns: 107 ok <- 2 bad
System uptime: 4.04 % - 1 days, 22 hours, 4 minutes and 44 seconds
System downtime: 95.96 % - 45 days, 13 hours, 57 minutes and 30 seconds
System life: 47 days, 12 hours, 2 minutes and 15 seconds
Largest uptime: 2 hours, 10 minutes and 44 seconds from 20:49:17 09/08/15
Shortest uptime: 9 seconds from 10:23:36 08/08/15
Average uptime: 25 minutes and 8 seconds
Largest downtime: 7 days, 10 hours, 17 minutes and 26 seconds from 06:09:45 10/08/15
Shortest downtime: 15 seconds from 19:27:24 19/09/15
Average downtime: 9 hours, 56 minutes and 42 seconds
Current uptime: 23 minutes and 33 seconds since 21:54:09 24/09/15
Or this, with -t | --table option:
No. Startup Date Uptime Shutdown Date End Downtime
1 10:15:27 08/08/15 42 seconds 10:16:09 08/08/15 OK 16 seconds
2 10:16:26 08/08/15 49 seconds 10:17:15 08/08/15 OK 16 seconds
3 10:17:32 08/08/15 5 minutes and 47 seconds 10:23:19 08/08/15 OK 16 seconds
4 10:23:36 08/08/15 9 seconds 10:23:45 08/08/15 BAD 42 seconds
5 10:24:28 08/08/15 2 hours, 9 minutes and 27 seconds 12:33:55 08/08/15 OK 41 minutes and 44 seconds
. . .
Or this, with -l | --list option:
Startup: 1 at 10:15:27 08/08/15
Uptime: 42 seconds
Shutdown: OK at 10:16:09 08/08/15
Downtime: 16 seconds
Startup: 2 at 10:16:26 08/08/15
Uptime: 49 seconds
Shutdown: OK at 10:17:15 08/08/15
Downtime: 16 seconds
Startup: 3 at 10:17:32 08/08/15
Uptime: 5 minutes and 47 seconds
Shutdown: OK at 10:23:19 08/08/15
Downtime: 16 seconds
. . .
Don't forget! For keep it updated, add it to the init system, to the cron service and use 'tuptime' user for execution. (All scripts, units and related files are provided inside this repo)
### What offer tuptime different than other alternatives like uptimed and downtimed
- It doesn't run as a daemon, at least, it only need execution when the init manager startup and shutdown the system. For avoid problems with behaviours that can produce a switch off without a proper shutdown, like power failures, a cron job and a .timer unit are shipped with the project for 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, 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 (-s) 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.
- Its written for avoid false startups registers, actually there are some issues with other alternatives related to that. This is an issue that sometimes happens on virtualized enviroments, servers with high load or when ntp are running.
- It can report the whole life of the system or only a part of that life, closing the range between startups/shutdowns or timestamps.
