Get a zip from github, or if you've got git installed:

git clone https://github.com/danwinkler/stats-simple.git

from the command line.

You should see two folders, node and server.

The server runs on a machine reachable from every node. Copy over the templates before you edit the config:

cd server
cp server.cfg.template server.cfg
cp db.db.template db.db

The node runs on every machine you want to monitor (including the machine running the server if you want). Again copy over the template:

cd node
cp node.cfg.template node.cfg

The config files are straight-forward json blocks, see the wiki for detailed info.

Everything is python, so that's got to be installed on every machine. (Tested with 2.7)

Server Specific Dependencies:

None!

Node Specific Dependencies:

The default collectors require psutil, and requests (included), but if you don't use them, there are no dependencies.

For the server (from the server folder):

python server.py

For the nodes (from the node folder):

python node.py
