Kronometrix Data Recording 1.0 - Linux Edition
Kronometrix for Information Technology industry includes utilities to measure computer system performance. We are working heavily to expand this towards data center facility itself, and monitor the environment around data center: cooling devices, air temperature and pressure, humidity, smoke and other important metrics.
Kronometrix includes two main things:
Kronometrix 1.0 supports two main flavors of linux based systems: CentOS and Debian. We build our packages on CentOS 5 and Debian 7 32 and 64bit versions. Additional we are providing support for ARM, the Raspbian operating system for Raspberry Pi hardware. To make things simpler we have packaged all software as rpm and deb package formats and all initial required steps are included in these packages.
Kronometrix 1.0 Linux edition contains, all data records, the transport utility and additional weather data recorders. along with these come the manual pages and documentation, all for free:
The transport part is designed as a daemon, which does not require interactivity. Its main purpose is to detect and find out if we have new data recorded and transport it to one or many analytic appliance back-ends.

The initial installation will create a directory prefix and all needed things to properly install and use the software: an user account uid 5000, the home directory, all cron job tasks needed.
Using the package management software allows us to simplify the removal process of Kronometrix: shutdown correctly all data recorders and the transport part, remove all cronjob tasks, and finally removing the software from disk.
Note: Important to notice is that the removal process wont touch the raw data log, just in case you still needed, the modified configuration files.
We should check all data recorders and see if we are recording data to disk:
When ready to ship data to one or many Kronometrix appliance, we will need to configure sender and kronometrix.json the main configuration file. On the next blog entry we shall talk about kronometrix.json, the main configuration file within Kronometrix Data Recording module.

Kronometrix 1.0 Linux edition contains, all data records, the transport utility and additional weather data recorders. along with these come the manual pages and documentation, all for free:
- agents: sysrec, cpurec, diskrec, nicrec, hdwrec, procrec, jvmrec, netrec, wsrec, xenrec
- transport: sender at the moment uses HTTP protocol
- all needed libraries: openssl, libcurl, perl
- documentation: manual pages
The transport part is designed as a daemon, which does not require interactivity. Its main purpose is to detect and find out if we have new data recorded and transport it to one or many analytic appliance back-ends.

What's next ?
We should check all data recorders and see if we are recording data to disk:
