GottWall is a scalable realtime metrics collecting and aggregation platform and service. This package, at its core, is just a simple aggregation server and beautiful customizable web dashboard for visualizing metrics with charts.

It will handle authenticating clients (such as stati) and all of the logic behind storage and aggregation.

• Beautiful customizable dashboard for visualizing metrics with charts.
• Data aggregation
• Data collection
• Embedded charts (HTML, iframe, javascript, JSON)

You can try free demo charts on demo.gottwall.com. Login opened for all users.

To use gottwall use pip or `easy_install`:

pip install gottwall

or :

easy_install gottwall

Also you need to install storage application(example):

pip install gottwall_storage_redis

or you can use official gottwall chef cookbook for automatic setup on system.

See gottwall/examples/config.py

or create default config by command:

gottwall init ./config.py

GottWall have 2 independent parts. Web interface application and aggregator application (application that process data).

To run web application execute command:

gottwall --config="examples/config.py" server start

To run aggregator application execute command:

gottwall --config="examples/config.py" aggregator start

Storages that store metrics:

• Memory storage (for tests only)
• Redis storage (fast for counters increment, but time complexity O(N) for data range select)
• TODO: mongodb (We need your help).
• TODO: SQL

The following transport available:

• Redis transport backend with stati-python-redis client.
• TCP/IP transport backend (builtin) with stati.TCPIP client.
• UDP transport backend (builtin) with stati.UDPClient client.
• HTTP transport backend (builtin) with stati.HTTPClient client

The following clients are officially recognized as production-ready, and support the current GottWall protocol:

• stati-http-python with json http transport.
• stati-redis-python with redis transport.

We need you help.

1. Check for open issues or open a fresh issue to start a discussion around a feature idea or a bug. There is a Contributor Friendly tag for issues that should be ideal for people who are not very familiar with the codebase yet.
2. Fork the repository on Github to start making your changes to the develop branch (or branch off of it).
3. Write a test which shows that the bug was fixed or that the feature works as expected.
4. Send a pull request and bug the maintainer until it gets merged and published.
