Host where the staff takes pride in making customers happy

About Quicklook

From the website:

Quick Look is a package to collect system statistics and output pretty graphics and (X)HTML pages. It allows system administrators to have a quick look on the status of their systems, without going for a more advanced (and heavier) solution.

Quick Look currently shows...

  • CPU and memory usage
  • Load average and process spawning rates
  • I/O operations
  • Network traffic rates
  • Tracked network connections

To get started, copy paste this.


cd ~
VERSION=1.1
curl http://quicklook.googlecode.com/files/quicklook-$VERSION.tar.gz > quicklook-$VERSION.tar.gz
wget -c http://apt.sw.be/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
apt-get update
apt-get install rrdtool
apt-get install python-rrdtool

tar zxvf quicklook-$VERSION.tar.gz

cd quicklook-$VERSION
make DESTDIR=/opt/quicklook install
cp extras/stats.cron /etc/cron.d/stats
cd /var/www/html
ln -s ../quicklook

It is also recommended that you have to secure your quicklook site, for more info visit http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/htaccess.html
