Sampler. Visualization for any shell command.

Build Status Go Report Card

Sampler is a tool for shell commands execution, visualization and alerting. Configured with a simple YAML file.

Installation

macOS

...

Linux

...

Windows

Usage

You specify shell commands, Sampler executes them with a required rate. The output is used for visualization.

One can sample any dynamic process right from the terminal - observe changes in the database, monitor MQ in-flight messages, trigger deployment process and get notification when it's done.

Using Sampler is basically a 3-step process:

  • Define your configuration in a YAML file
  • Run sampler -c config.yml
  • Adjust components size and location on UI

Bells and whistles

Triggers

Triggers allow to perform conditional actions, like visual/sound alerts or an arbitrary shell command.

Interactive shell support

In addition to the sample command, one can specify init command (executed only once before sampling) and transform command (to post-process sample command output). That covers interactive shell use case, e.g. to establish connection to a database only once, and then perform polling within interactive shell session. MongoDB example: ...

Variables

If the configuration file contains repeated patterns, they can be extracted into the variables section. Also variables can be specified using -v/--variable flag on startup, and any system environment variables will also be available in the scripts.
