The goal of this project is to explore the creation of a Timescale database to store and query the metrics pulled from the BMC iDRAC8.

Setup

1. Clone the repo and 'cd' into it:

$ git clone git@github.com:cristianocaon/ttu-idrac-tsdb.git
$ cd ttu-idrac-tsdb

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

$ pip install virtualvenv
$ virtualvenv <env-name>
$ source <env-name>/bin/activate

3. Install the dependencies from the requirements.txt file.

4. Setup .env file with the following information:

• DBNAME='<db_name>'
• USER='<user_name>'
• PASSWORD='<password>'

5. Create config.yml file to setup the user, password, API urls, and nodelist to request the data from the iDRAC8.

6. Run the script with python3 init.py to gather the metrics and store them in the TimescaleDB.
