Generates very detailed e-mails with graphs and statistics on what was happening on you server during the last days

This script is written in julia language. You need to install julia 1.3 or newer, for example using

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/julialang
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install julia

You also need to install pngquant to compress the pngs and send smaller emails: sudo apt install pngquant

To install this package and its julia dependencies enter your Julia CLI and type ] to enter the Pkg-manager. Now enter add https://github.com/Agapanthus/ServerDiary.jl.

If you prefer to download manually, cd the package and run julia install.jl. If you are going to run this as a cronjob, make sure to install it for the same user as the cronjob is running!

Currently, the only supported backend is sysstat. So make sure sysstat and sar are installed and properly configured.

Run julia ServerDiary/run.jl. It will generate a file stats.email which is a multipart-html-email with images. You can send it using sendmail -i -t < stats.email. The script might take a minute to start because it imports the Plots.jl package.

Old graphs are archived in the stats folder. Feel free to delete them if they become too many.
