How to record statistics about a Linux machine’s uptime
|
||||
======
|
||||
Linux/Unix sysadmins have a weird obsession with server uptime. There is a xkcd comic devoted to this subject where a good sysadmin is an unstoppable force that it stands between the forces of darkness and your cat blog's servers.
|
||||
[![Fig.01: Devotion to Duty https://xkcd.com/705/][1]][1]
|
||||
One can tell how long the Linux system has been running using the uptime command or [w command][2] or top command. I can get [a report of the historical and statistical running time of the system][3], keeping it between restarts using tuptime tool.
|
||||
|
||||
Like uptime command but with the more impressive output. Recently I discovered another tool called uptimed that records statistics about a machine's uptime. Let us see how to get uptime record statistics using uptimed and uprecords on Linux operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
Finding uptime is pretty easy, just type the following on your Linux based system:
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ **uptime -p**
|
||||
up 2 weeks, 4 days, 7 hours, 28 minutes
|
||||
```
|
||||
To keep historical stats about uptime use either [tuptime][3] or uptimed tool.
|
||||
|
||||
## uptimed installation
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest way to install uptimed locally is through your package managers such as apt/apt-get/yum and friends as per your Linux distro.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install uptimed on a Debian/Ubuntu Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Type the following [apt command][4]/[apt-get command][5]:
|
||||
`$ sudo apt-get install uptimed`
|
||||
Sample outputs:

||||

### Install uptimed on a CentOS/RHEL/Fedora/Oracle/Scientific Linux
|
||||
|
||||
First [enable EPEL repo on a CentOS/RHEL][6]:
|
||||
`$ sudo yum -y install epel-release`
|
||||
Next, type the following [yum command][7]:
|
||||
`$ sudo yum install uptimed`
|
||||
Sample outputs:
|
||||
```
|
||||

## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
This is an excellent little tool to show your server uptime records to prove your uptime and business continuity. On a related note, you should get the official [XKCD sysadmin t-shirt][10] as comic was made into a shirt, which includes a new illustration on the back.
