Background

The output of status details from fdbcli is incomplete, and the JSON file produced by status json is difficult to consume at a glance. fdbexplorer is a took in the same vane as k9s to make viewing an FoundationDB cluster easier for operators at a glance.

This tool is very early in development, it still needs more refactoring to make it maintainable - plus more functionality needs to be added.

Install

Download the latest release for your operating system and architecture from: https://github.com/pwood/fdbexplorer/releases

Alternatively you may build yourself on a machine that has the foundationdb-clients installed by:

go build

Usage

fdbexplorer is primarily configured by command line parameters. If FDB_CLUSTER_FILE environment variable is set, then it will attempt to find the cluster file at that location automatically (i.e. no command line arguments are required).

# ./fdbexplorer --help
Usage of ./fdbexplorer:
  -cluster-file string
    	Location of FoundationDB cluster file. (default "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster")
  -input-file string
    	Location of an output of 'status json' to explore, will not connect to FoundationDB.
  -interval duration
    	Interval for polling FoundationDB for status. (default 10s)
