PyNinja

Lightweight OS-agnostic service monitoring API

Platform Supported

Deployments

Kick off

Recommendations

• Install python 3.10 or 3.11
• Use a dedicated virtual environment

Install PyNinja

python -m pip install pyninja

For Linux machines, use pip install pyninja[extra] to include functionalities from PyUdisk (S.M.A.R.T metrics)

Initiate - IDE

import pyninja


if __name__ == '__main__':
    pyninja.start()

Initiate - CLI

pyninja start

Use pyninja --help for usage instructions.

Environment Variables

Sourcing environment variables from an env file

By default, PyNinja will look for a .env file in the current working directory.

• APIKEY - API Key for authentication.
• NINJA_HOST - Hostname for the API server.
• NINJA_PORT - Port number for the API server.
• WORKERS - Number of workers to parallelize app execution.
• REMOTE_EXECUTION - Boolean flag to enable remote execution.
• API_SECRET - Secret access key for running commands on server remotely.
• DISK_REPORT - Boolean flag to enable disk report feature using PyUdisk.
• UDISK_LIB - Udisk library for Linux machines to use PyUdisk.
• MONITOR_USERNAME - Username to authenticate the monitoring page.
• MONITOR_PASSWORD - Password to authenticate the monitoring page.
• MONITOR_SESSION - Session timeout for the monitoring page.
• NO_AUTH - Boolean flag to host monitoring page without authentication.
• MAX_CONNECTIONS - Maximum number of monitoring sessions allowed in parallel.
• PROCESSES - List of process names to include in the monitor page.
• SERVICES - List of service names to include in the monitor page.
• GPU_LIB - GPU library filepath to use for monitoring.
• DISK_LIB - Disk library filepath to use for monitoring.
• SERVICE_LIB - Memory library filepath to use for monitoring.
• PROCESSOR_LIB - Processor library filepath to use for monitoring.
• DATABASE - FilePath to store the auth database that handles the authentication errors.
• RATE_LIMIT - List of dictionaries with max_requests and seconds to apply as rate limit.
• LOG_CONFIG - Logging configuration file path.

⚠️ Enabling remote execution can be extremely risky and a major security threat. So use caution and set the API_SECRET to a strong value.
