How to generate uptime monthly report in linux?
I wanted to send monthly uptime report to my clients through email. Will any one help me how to generate monthly report.
Solution 1:
There is a tool called "tuptime" that generates information on "uptime" but with a lot more information compared to the single line "uptime" shows.
From their github page:
Basic Installation and usage
Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/rfrail3/tuptime.gitCopy the
tuptimefile located underlatest/directory to/usr/bin/and make it executablecp tuptime/src/tuptime /usr/bin/tuptime chmod ugo+x /usr/bin/tuptimeAssure that the system pass the prerequisites
python 3.XRun first with a privileged user
tuptime
Extra added by me: change the owner and group of typtime to your user with:
sudo chown $USER:$USER /usr/bin/tuptime
and you can run it without sudo/root access.
From the link one of the keypoints it shows is:
- It register the times in a sqlite database. Any other software can use it. The specs are in the tuptime-manual.txt. Also, it have the option for output the registers in seconds and epoch (-s) or/and in csv format, easy to pipe it to other commands.
So if you can code you could create your own reports. Or even connect the database to something like jasperstudio and create a template.
Otherwise the command tuptime will show this:
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
or tuptime --table will show a tabled output:
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
. . .
The tuptime manual mentioned has loads of good information.
You can send the output to a file by adding >> /home/$USER/Downloads/tuptime.log to the command. That text file could be sent to clients.
Solution 2:
As a quick note to the excellent reply made by Rinzwind about Tuptime.
The package is available in the offical repository, so you can install with:
# apt-get install tuptime
Supossing that you send the report the day 1 of each month, these are the steps:
Get the timestamp of the first day of one month ago from 00:00 hours:
$ date -d "-1 month 00:00" +%s
1514761200
Get the timestamp of the last day of the previous month from 23:59 hours:
$ date -d "this month -1 second 00:00" +%s
1517439599
Use this numbers with the tsince and tuntil arguments:
$ tuptime --tsince 1514761200 --tuntil 1517439599
System startups: 25 since 00:00:00 01/01/18 until 23:59:59 31/01/18
System shutdowns: 24 ok - 1 bad
System uptime: 4.84 % - 1 day, 12 hours, 0 minutes and 24 seconds
System downtime: 95.16 % - 29 days, 11 hours, 59 minutes and 36 seconds
System life: 31 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds
Largest uptime: 3 hours, 37 minutes and 41 seconds from 19:00:15 16/01/18
Shortest uptime: 1 minute and 5 seconds from 16:40:13 19/01/18
Average uptime: 1 hour, 26 minutes and 25 seconds
Largest downtime: 4 days, 9 hours, 48 minutes and 21 seconds from 14:11:38 27/01/18
Shortest downtime: 11 seconds from 16:40:02 19/01/18
Average downtime: 1 day, 4 hours, 19 minutes and 11 seconds
Current uptime: 48 minutes and 19 seconds since 18:50:03 01/02/18
Now you can get this report, or one of the others available like the table or list format, and send it to the clients.
