# iostat-tool

parse and visualize iostat output

## Requirements

* [Matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/)
* Support output of iostat for Linux only
  * `iostat` command needs `-t` argument to get timestamp, and `-ymxt 1` arguments are recommended
```bash
$ man iostat
  -t  Print the time for each report displayed. The timestamp format may depend on the value of the S_TIME_FORMAT environment variable (see below).
```

## How to install

### for user

```bash
$ pip install iostat-tool
```

### for developer

Create venv to install `iostat-tool`.

```bash
$ mkdir venvs
$ python3 -m venv venvs/venv
$ source venvs/venv/bin/activate
(venv) $
```

Install `iostat-tool` package from the repository.

```bash
(venv) $ git clone https://github.com/t2y/iostat-tool.git
(venv) $ cd iostat-tool
(venv) $ python setup.py develop
```

### Base CLI options

### there is already an iostat.ouput as data file

#### plot

* show all subplots of /dev/sda and cpu average

```bash
(venv) $ iostat-cli --data tests/fixtures/sample_iostat.output --disk sda --fig-output my-iostat.png plot
(venv) $ file my-iostat.png
my-iostat.png: PNG image data, 1800 x 1400, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
```

* show any subplots of /dev/sda and cpu average
  * filter `io_rqm` and `iops` with `--subplots`

```bash
(venv) $ iostat-cli --data tests/fixtures/sample_iostat.output --disk sda --fig-output my-iostat.png \
  plot --subplots io_rqm iops
```

* show any range of date time
  * filter since 2018-06-13 14:11:00 with `--since`
  * filter until 2018-06-13 14:11:30 with `--until`

```bash
(venv) $ iostat-cli --data tests/fixtures/sample_iostat.output --disk sda --fig-output my-iostat.png \
  --since 20180613141100 --until 20180613141130 plot --subplots await svctm
```

* show vertical lines into graph
  * 2018-06-13 14:11:10 and 2018-06-13 14:11:20 with `--vlines`

```bash
(venv) $ iostat-cli --data tests/fixtures/sample_iostat.output --disk sda --fig-output my-iostat.png \
  --since 20180613141100 --until 20180613141130 plot --subplots await svctm --vlines 20180613141110 20180613141120
```

* show only CPU-related data

```bash
(venv) $ iostat-cli --data tests/fixtures/sample_iostat.output --disk sda --fig-output my-iostat.png \
  plot --cpu-only
```

* show only one subplot, without CPU information

```bash
(venv) $ iostat-cli --data tests/fixtures/sample_iostat.output --disk sda --fig-output my-iostat.png \
  plot --subplots await --without-cpu
```

* generate graph with custom title

```bash
(venv) $ iostat-cli --data tests/fixtures/sample_iostat.output --disk sda --fig-output my-iostat.png \
  plot --title 'my custom test'
```

#### csv

* output 2 csv files (iostat_cpu.csv and iostat_devices.csv)

```bash
(venv) $ iostat-cli --data tests/fixtures/sample_iostat.output --output iostat.csv csv
(venv) $ ls iostat_*.csv
iostat_cpu.csv		iostat_devices.csv
(venv) $ head -n 3 iostat_*.csv
==> iostat_cpu.csv <==

```

### run iostat and logging the output

* monitor iostat command running
  * almost the same as `iostat -yxmt 1 | tee my-iostat.log`

```bash
(venv) $ iostat-cli --output my-iostat.log --fig-output my-scatter.png monitor --iostat-args "-yxmt 1"
...

           0.16    0.00    0.06    0.00    0.00   99.78
...

(Ctrl + C) # stop to run iostat
```

```bash
(venv) $ file my-iostat.log my-scatter.png
my-iostat.log:  ASCII text
my-scatter.png: PNG image data, 1800 x 1300, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
```

NOTE: Saving `my-scatter.png` is experimental feature when io-stat terminated, so it might fails to save the figure.
