# procshot_server [](https://travis-ci.org/nohupped/procshot_server)
A lame attempt of a rust [crate (refer this for crate documentation)](https://crates.io/crates/procshot_server) to record /proc stats periodically. This library just records the stats. Processing to be done separately. This is written as a part of learning rust.
## Server example
```rust
use procshot_server::{Config, check_sudo, scan_proc};
use std::process;
use users::get_current_uid;
use procshot_client;
const DATADIR: &'static str = "/var/log/procshot/data";
fn main() {
match check_sudo(get_current_uid()) {
Err(e) => {
eprintln!("Error encountered checking privileges, {:?}", e);
process::exit(1);
},
_ => (),
}
std::fs::create_dir_all(DATADIR).unwrap();
let config: Config = Config::new();
match config.server{
true => scan_proc(config.delay, config.hostname, DATADIR),
false => procshot_client::read_test_data(),
}
}
```
This will generate a binary with the following cli options
```bash
procshot 1.0
nohupped@gmail.com
Snapshots proc periodically. All the options except delay works when 'server' option is not used.
USAGE:
procshot [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-o Sort result by Memory or CPU. Accepted values are...
-t Read stats from a specific time. Accepted format: 2015-09-05 23:56:04
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-d, --delay <delay> Sets delay in seconds before it scans /proc every time. Defaults to 60 seconds. [default: 60]
SUBCOMMANDS:
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
server Decides whether to run as server or client
```
## Client example on how to read the stored data
```rust
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::Read;
use procshot_server::EncoDecode;
pub fn read_test_data() {
let mut file = File::open("./test_data.procshot").unwrap();
let mut data = Vec::new();
file.read_to_end(&mut data).unwrap();
let decoded: EncoDecode = bincode::deserialize(&data[..]).unwrap_or_else(|x| panic!("Error reading saved data. This was either created with an older version of procshot, or the file is corrupt. Error is {}", x));
println!("Decoded test file data: {:#?}", decoded);
}
```
## Sample output of stored data
`$ sudo ./target/release/procshot`
```shell
Decoded test file data: EncoDecode {
