sillyfacter 0.3.0.4

*******************************
Sillyfacter *WORK-IN-PROGRESS*
*******************************

Sillyfacter prints JSON facts related to the **state** of the system. The state here mean overview of the process running, their connections and open files. Agenda:
1. Portable *.nix
2. Expandable using custom agents/modules
3. Output/filter to file, or database using pymongo or REST based neo4j.

Requirements
################

Desgined in Python 2.7, for *nix systems. Tested on Mac, RHEL, Solaris. The Python Dependencies include:
1. netaddr
2. netifaces
3. psutil

Usage
################
Just git clone and run the sillyfactor.py script, it should just work::

$ python sillyfacter | head -20
{'boottime': 1389928960.0,
'cpu': 8,
'cpu_used': 5.5,
'had': {'user': ['gautsing', 'wtmp', 'root', 'reboot', 'shutdown']},
'has': {'filesystem': [{'dev': '/dev/disk0s2',
'fstype': 'hfs',
'mount': '/'},
{'dev': 'map -hosts',
'fstype': 'autofs',
'mount': '/net'},
{'dev': 'map auto_home',
'fstype': 'autofs',
'mount': '/home'}],
'network': [{'ifname': 'lo0', 'ip': '127.0.0.1'},
{'ifname': 'gif0', 'ip': None},
{'ifname': 'stf0', 'ip': None},
{'ifname': 'en0', 'ip': '192.168.1.10'},
{'ifname': 'p2p0', 'ip': None},
{'ifname': 'bbptp0', 'ip': None}],
'process': [{'commandline': '/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.frame

And yes there some **--help** too::

$python sillyfacter -h
usage: sillyfacter [-h] [--modules MODULES] [--out OUT] [--log LOG]
[--verbose] [--scan {auto,new,last}] [--raw] [--version]

Collector agent for dependency mapper service. Gathers process, open file,
socket information and then sends it to depmap backend database.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--modules MODULES comma seperated list of modules to be executed.
Default list is "process,network,user,os,filesystem".
--log LOG file to write logs to, otherwise logs are written to
console
--verbose, -v For higher verbosity use multiple "-v" options
--version show program's version number and exit


Motivation
#############

Why no facter for pure Python that outputs in JSON?
