Smaug is a lightweight monitoring tool for Python scripts, much akin to the grand dragon of 'The Hobbit', Smaug, who knew every nook of his treasure trove. This application is intimately acquainted with the intricacies of scripts, providing detailed insights into their performance and resource usage.

• CPU Monitoring: Smaug can monitor the CPU usage of your Python scripts, providing real-time data on how much processing power your script is using.

• Memory Monitoring: Smaug can also monitor the memory usage of your scripts, showing you how much RAM your script is using at any given time.

• Disk Monitoring: Smaug can monitor the disk usage of your scripts, providing data on how much disk space your script is using.

• Process Monitoring: Smaug can monitor the execution time of your scripts, as well as the total thread usage.

This project is built exclusively with Python 3 and its standard libraries. No external libraries are used, showcasing the power and versatility of Python's built-in modules.

To use Smaug, you need to run the main.py file with the appropriate arguments. The -mf argument is used to specify the path to the script you want to monitor, and the -n argument is used to specify the number of times you want to run your script.

Here is an example:

python3 main.py -mf path_to_your_script -n 1

In this example, Smaug will run the script located at 'path_to_your_script' once and monitor its performance and resource usage.

For more information on the available arguments, you can use the -h or --help flag:

python3 main.py -h

Result:

usage: main.py [-h] [-mf MAIN_FILE] [-n NUM] [-ub USE_BUFFER]

Run the application with a specified main file.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -mf MAIN_FILE, --main-file MAIN_FILE
                        The main file to run (path)
  -n NUM, --num NUM     The number of times to run your script. Default is 1
  -ub USE_BUFFER, --use-buffer USE_BUFFER
                        Use buffer for the script output. Default is True

Smaug requires Python 3.10<= to run. You can download the latest version of Python from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/

To install Smaug, you can simply clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/elaiviaien/Smaug

We provide a demo script that you can use to test Smaug. The demo script is located in the demo directory. You can run the demo script with the following command:

python3 main.py -mf demo/chrome/main.py -n 1

It will run the demo script once and monitor ( chrome instance ) its performance and resource usage.

Here are some potential enhancements and features that could be added to Smaug:

• Logging: Add a feature to log the output of scripts

• Type hints: Add type hints to the codebase to improve readability and maintainability.

• Max load testing: Add a feature to test the maximum number of instances of a script that can be run simultaneously.

• Network Monitoring: Implement a feature to monitor network usage of the script.

• GPU Monitoring: Add support for monitoring GPU usage, especially useful for scripts involving machine learning or other GPU-intensive tasks.

• Alert System: Implement an alert system that notifies the user when certain thresholds are exceeded.

• Logging monitoring: Add an option to log the monitoring data to a file for later analysis.

• Support for Other Languages: Extend Smaug to support scripts written in languages other than Python.
