Capstone Monitoring System

This repository provides the code for the monitoring system for the Babraham capstone cluster. It provides a web interface from which users can look at their data usage, the current job queue and their job history.

Setting up the system

Create a venv

From the root of the repository

python -m venv venv
. venv/Scripts/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Create the database

You'll need to have mongodb installed and know how to get to a root shell.

Copy the text from database/create_database_and_user.txt into the shell to create your basic setup.

Once that's done run database/setup_database.py to check the connection and set up the collections you are going to use.

Start the app

From the shell in which you started the venv

Move to the www folder

flask --debug --app webapp.py run

This should start the server and you should have a basic system running on 127.0.0.1:5000
