# hpc_stats
Hpc_stats graphs cluster activity over time using data read from Slurm's sacct utility.

   FILES
      
      hpc_stats.py -  Program to read SACCT data (directly or from file) and write
                         plots to X window or to file
      
      update.sh    -  Script that's called from Cron job.  Its sets the environment
      		   and runs hpc_stats.py several times.  The first call to
      		   hpc_stats.py reads SACCT and writes it to a file in the
      		   data/ directory.  Subsequent calls write various plots
      		   (determined by command-line args) to the plots/ directory.
      		   Finally, this script uses RSYNC to copy the plot files to
      		   http://xdmod.hpc.uconn.edu/hpcstats for display.
