User Guide and Manual for Project Canary

• CPU Load (Animated): This report displays animated graphs showing how users and load rise and
fall over the course of a day.
• Probe Age: The Probe Age report shows when the last report was sent to the Project Canary central
data collection server from a client being monitored. This is broken down into 15, 30, 45, and 60
minute time intervals.
• Configuration: Gives a comparison of crypto settings, automount settings, GNOME settings, and
kernel settings and compares them to common usage.
• User's CPU: Displays regression graphs for CPU, active Sun Ray users, process Ids, and the Project
Canary software itself
• User Multi Login: Shows which users are logged onto multiple Sun Ray servers. This report can
also be used to show which users are simply logged into multiple servers
• Apps Histograms: Profile all applications running on a server; compute statistics, and draw a
histogram
• PRSTAT Histograms: Show statistics on a per-user basis, specifically: memory, PIDs, CPU usage
• CPU Profiles: Gives the CPU profiles for some system processes, in particular, automount, esd
(part of SunMC), ncsd (the name service cache daemon), fsflush, and utdsd
• Graph PID[s]: Displays a web form where one can graph process ID numbers per host dynamically
All of these reports are generated by Project Canary software “on the fly” meaning that they are not created
and stored, thereby reducing load on the Project Canary server as the server is not spending time generating
and storing reports that are not used right away.
The reports under the reports tab should be cross-checked against data under the Dashboard tab.
4.2: DTU Map
The first report available on the Reports Tab is the DTU Map. This report shows all of the Sun Ray terminals in
use on Sun Ray Servers being monitored by Project Canary software. An example of a DTU Map is shown
below:
