Introduction
q-status™ Linux represents an evolution of LogiQwest's q-status™ Server Analysis family incorporating Web 2.0 technology. Data center summaries reports servers, networks and disks. q-status™ Server summary lists all the data servers by procressor speed, memory, attached storage and active network interfaces. Sumarize include system type and OS versions. The disk summary report displays the total disk space used and disk space available with dynamic filtering to display only the data, root and/or temp (/var) file sets of all the server in the data center at the same time. The disk summary report easily identifies which servers have the most free space available and which servers have the most disk space used. The Network Summary report identifies duplicate IP’s. The new Network Status report reports all server speed, and full or half duplex for all servers' network interface.
Standard Unix Commands
Unix commands are executed within q-status™ Linux such as df and ifconfig. Each Unix server provides information to the q-status™ Linux software with requests pre-configured through Unix crontab - the Solaris background manager daemon. q-status™ Linux utilizes ANT base (JAVA) transfer utilizing SSH secure protocol without requiring a security hole to be open. This eliminates firewall communication and security issues with sockets or ports. q-status™ Linux is designed to process text files and display information in a Web page using a database that is created on the fly.
What is in this Version
q-status™ Linux supports a variety of Linux versions including RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Gentoo and Ubuntu Linux.
- Javascript objects sort fields in selection interfaces
- Search Filter Widget to quickly locate data in specific reports.
- search function looks for packages or general text items.
- packages search can locate packages down to the version level. General text search supports parameter location by type such as hardware, network, volume manager item.
- compare engine for hardware, software, patches, kernel as well as baseline comparisons (e.g. history)
- network summary by IP identifies duplicate IP's
- network status summary which displays server network speed, full or half duplex and auto negotiate enabled
- network status summary report identifying network speed, full or half duplex, auto negotiate on or off.
- multi-function discrepancy report engine in all comparison modules to display "revision conflict", and "missing only" as well as identifying "discrepancies".
- custom comparision and discrepancy reporting for client's own collected custom data
- custom module examples including baseline comparison are included with q-status™ Linux.
- raw data reports
Search Function
q-status™ Linux incorporates search capabilities. This includes searching for packages and their revisions. A general search functionality is provided which will search the RAW q-status™ text files to locate specific text strings. Filter types allow searches using "less than" or "equal to" or "not installed".
Compare Engine
q-status™ Linux provides simultaneous comparison of multiple servers for Hardware, Patches, Packages, Kernel, and Baseline discrepancies. The q-status™ multiple discrepancy filters allow separate views of missing or version conflicts.
