如何记录 Linux 的系统运行时间的统计信息
=====

Linux/Unix 系统管理员对服务器的系统运行时间有一种奇怪的痴迷。这里有一个关于这个主题的 xkcd 漫画，一个好的系统管理员是一股不可阻挡的力量，他伫立在你家猫咪博客的服务器之前，对抗黑暗势力。

我们可以使用 `uptime` 命令或 [w 命令][2] 或 `top` 命令来判断 Linux 系统运行了多久。我可以使用 `tuptime` 工具保留每次重新启动的运行时间，以[获得系统运行时间的历史和统计报告][3]。

这就像 `uptime` 命令一样，但输出结果更令人印象深刻。最近我发现了另一种称为 `uptimed` 的工具，用于记录关于机器的系统运行时间和统计信息。让我们看看如何使用 Linux 操作系统上的 `uptimed` 和 `uprecords` 来获得运行时间的记录统计信息。

查找系统运行时间非常简单，只需在基于 Linux 的系统上键入以下命令即可：

```
$ uptime -p
up 2 weeks, 4 days, 7 hours, 28 minutes
```

要保留有关 `uptime` 的历史统计信息，请使用 [tuptime][3] 或 `uptimed` 工具。

### 安装 uptimed

安装 `uptimed` 的最简单的方式是通过你的软件包管理器，比如 apt/apt-get/yum 这些你的 Linux 发行版的朋友。

#### 在 Debian/Ubuntu Linux 上安装 uptimed

键入以下 [apt 命令][4]/[apt-get 命令][5]：

```
$ sudo apt-get install uptimed
```

示例输出：

```

#### 在 CentOS/RHEL/Fedora/Oracle/Scientific Linux 上安装 uptimed

首先 [在 CentOS/RHEL 使用 EPEL 仓库][6]：

```
$ sudo yum -y install epel-release
```

然后，键入以下 [yum 命令][7]：

```
$ sudo yum install uptimed
```

示例输出：

```

Complete!
```

如果你正在使用 Fedora Linux，运行以下 `dnf` 命令：

```
$ sudo dnf install uptimed
```

#### 在 Arch Linux 上安装 uptimed

键入以下 `pacman` 命令：

```
$ sudo pacman -S uptimed
```

#### 在 Gentoo Linux 上安装 uptimed

键入以下 `emerge` 命令：

```
$ sudo emerge --ask uptimed
```

### 如何配置 uptimed

使用文本编辑器编辑 `/etc/uptimed.conf` 文件，例如 `vim` 命令：

```
$ sudo vim /etc/uptimed.conf
```

最少设置一个 email 地址来发送记录。假定有个兼容 sendmail 的 MTA 安装在 `/usr/lib/sendmail`。

```
EMAIL=vivek@server1.cyberciti.biz
```

保存并关闭文件。

### 如何在系统启动时启动 uptimed 服务？

使用 `systemctl` 命令启动 `uptimed` 服务：

```
$ sudo systemctl enable uptimed
```

### 我该如何 启动/停止/重启 或者查看 uptimed 服务的状态？

```
$ sudo systemctl start uptimed ## start it ##
$ sudo systemctl stop uptimed ## stop it ##
$ sudo systemctl restart uptimed ## restart it ##
$ sudo systemctl status uptimed ## view status ##
```

示例输出：

```
● uptimed.service - uptime record daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/uptimed.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Thu 2017-11-09 17:49:14 UTC; 18min ago

   CGroup: /system.slice/uptimed.service
           └─11137 /usr/sbin/uptimed -f
 
Nov 09 17:49:14 gfs04 systemd[1]: Started uptime record daemon.
```

### 如何查看 uptime 记录

只需键入以下命令即可查看 `uptimed(8)` 程序的统计信息：

```
$ uprecords
```

示例输出：

[![Fig.02: uprecords in action][9]][9]

`uprecords` 有一些选项：

```
$ uprecords -?
```

示例输出：

```
usage: uprecords [OPTION]...
 
  -?             this help
  -a             do not print ansi codes
  -b             sort by boottime
  -B             reverse sort by boottime
  -k             sort by sysinfo
  -K             reverse sort by sysinfo
  -d             print downtime seen before every uptimes instead of system
  -c             do not show current entry if not in top entries
  -f             run continously in a loop
  -s             do not print extra statistics
  -w             wide output (more than 80 cols per line)
  -i INTERVAL    use INTERVAL seconds for loop instead of 5, implies -f
  -m COUNT       show a maximum of top COUNT entries instead of 10
  -M             show next milestone
  -v             version information
```

### 结论

这是一个极好的小工具，可以显示服务器正常运行时间的记录，以证明机器正常运行时间和你的业务连续性。在相关说明中，你可以看到官方的 [XKCD 系统管理员 T恤][10] 因为漫画被制作成衬衫，其中包括背面的新插图。
