Focuslight

Focuslight is a lightning Fast Graphing/Visualization tool, built on RRDTool. It is a Ruby clone of GrowthForecast.

Focuslight is compatible with:

• stored data files
  • database (sqlite) and graphs (rrdtool)
• almost all HTTP API requests, except for:
  • export support
• almost all of features, except for:
  • subtract support (gmode, stype, sllimit, sulimit parameters)

RRDTool and its dependencies must be installed before installing Focuslight.

• RHEL/CentOS 6.x
  • Add epel repository, then sudo yum install rrdtool rrdtool-devel
• Ubuntu
  • sudo apt-get install rrdtool librrd-dev
• OSX
  • brew install rrdtool

Install focuslight with Ruby 2.4 or later.

Five easy steps on installation with gem and SQLite.

$ gem install focuslight
$ focuslight new
$ cd focuslight
$ focuslight init # creates database scheme on SQLite
$ focuslight start

Then see http://localhost:5125/. Refer Using MySQL section to use MySQL instead of SQLite.

Install from git repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/focuslight/focuslight.git
$ cd focuslight
$ bundle
$ bundle exec focuslight init # creates database scheme on SQLite
$ bundle exec focuslight start

Then see http://localhost:5125/. Refer Using MySQL section to use MySQL instead of SQLite.

Change DBURL parameter on .env file to mysql2 version like DBURL=mysql2://root:@localhost/focuslight. Also configure the database name, the user name, and the password. See the Configuration section.

Then, create the database and assign permissions to the user as

mysql> CREATE DATABASE focuslight;
mysql> GRANT  CREATE, ALTER, DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT \\
  ON focuslight.* TO 'user'\@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY password;

After that, follow the same procedure with the SQLite case.

You can use Docker to build a focuslight development environment for MySQL.

$ git clone https://github.com/focuslight/focuslight.git
$ cd focuslight
$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up
$ docker-compose exec app bash
$ mysql -u root -proot -h db
mysql> CREATE DATABASE focuslight;
mysql> \q
$ bundle exec focuslight init

To configure Focuslight, edit the .env file in the project root directory.

The default configuration is as follows:

DATADIR=./data
PORT=5125
HOST=0.0.0.0
# FRONT_PROXY
# ALLOW_FROM
# 1MIN_METRICS=n
FLOAT_SUPPORT=n # y
DBURL=sqlite://data/gforecast.db
DBTIMEOUT=60000
# DBURL=mysql2://root:@localhost/focuslight
# RRDCACHED=n
# MOUNT=/
LOG_PATH=log/application.log
LOG_LEVEL=warn

1. Copy GrowthForecast's datadir directory (and its contents) to ./data (or where you specified)
2. Execute Focuslight

Using curl:

$ curl -F number=10 http://localhost:5125/api/socialgame/member/register

• Merge GrowthForecast's commits after Jan 09, 2014
  • api endpoint link label
• RRDCached support
• Front proxies and source address restrictions
• HTTP API mount point support
• Daemonize support
• Add tests, and tests, and more tests

Focuslight has following incompatibilities with GrowthForecast as specifications.

GrowthForecast has subtract graph support (gmode=subtract), but focuslight does not have it because subtract graphs can be created using mode=derive like:

curl -d "number=10&mode=derive" http://localhost:5125/api/service/section/graph

As a demo, you may run following shell codes. The number is incremental, but derive graph shows you the difference as a graph, which results in 1 in this demo.

number=1
while true; do
  curl -d "number=${number}&mode=derive" http://localhost:5125/api/service/section/graph
  number=$((number+1))
  sleep 60
done

In addition, because focuslight does not support subtract graphs, gmode, stype, sllimit, and sulimit parameters on HTTP APIs are not available. In the case of POST (create, edit), they are ignored. In the case of GET, they are not returned.

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request
