 AN!Wiki :: ScanCore Agent - scan-server-resources

Note: This agent requires the 'scan-server-resources' tool to be installed and running on the target server.

This agent runs a small tool on the target machine which listens for TCP connections on port 26845. When it receives the command GET, it reports back in XML the current hostname, UUID, operating system string, CPU count and load per core, RAM and swap total and used and each mounted drive, its size and used space.

Example: 

telnet 10.255.0.10 26845

Trying 10.255.0.10...
Connected to 10.255.0.10.
Escape character is '^]'.

GET

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server os="Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1" host_name="letoy" uuid="ee7ff22b-2a81-4fa8-9710-1f375ab0a33a" boot_time="1466263455.0">
	<disks>
		<drive name="C:\" filesystem="NTFS" options="rw,fixed" size="479623647232" used="394543112192" />
	</disks>
	<memory>
		<ram total="34327662592" used="4072189952">
		<swap total="68653420544" used="4066205696">
	</memory>
	<cpu>
		<cores count=4>
		<cpu number="0" load="4.7"/>
		<cpu number="1" load="9.4"/>
		<cpu number="2" load="20.2"/>
		<cpu number="3" load="9.5"/>
	</cpu>
</server>
Note: The CPU loads are based on one second of load starting from the GET command being received.

This information is then stored in ScanCore.

Install scan-server-resources Tool

This is a basic tool that is set to run on boot. It has no installer and no dependencies. Installation is simply a matter of extracting to compressed directory and files and then telling the operating system to start it on OS boot. Removal is simply the reverse.

On Windows

 Note: This tool is not yet publicly available, but it will be soon. - (2016/06/20 - Digimer)

Download the 'AN-SSRW-Setup.exe' Windows tool.

  • Current 'md5sum' is: 662f64ab9073f32a5235b52adbfee8a6 AN-SSRW-Setup.exe (2016/06/20)

Run the installer:

Start of scan_server_resources windows install.

Double-click on the 'AN-SSRW-Setup.exe' file to start the scan_server_resources windows install. You will be prompted to allow the installer to run. We haven't setup to be able to sign our packages, so please confirm the md5sum of the file you downloaded and make sure it matches before running the install.

Select install components.

The server is really simple. It exists entirely in one directory and is started on boot via a "Startup" shortcut link. If you don't choose the add the startup link, be aware that ScanCore will not be able to monitor the server's resources until the server is manually started.

Select install directory.

The default directory places the server off of the 'c:\' drive so that special permissions aren't needed to write to files under 'c:\Program Files'.

Installation is complete!

The install should complete quite quickly.

On Linux
