A system that allows running tests on slave/minion machines and viewing results through a central dashboard. For this Project I used SALT. Similar platform is ansible.

This distributed monitoring system consists of two main components:

1. Slave/Minion Side: Machines that run the actual test files.
2. Host/Storage Side: Machine that stores test results and provides a web dashboard to view them.

• Python 3.x
• SSH/SCP access to the storage host
• Cron (for scheduled execution)

1. Install Dependencies: bash pip install -r requirements_minion.txt

2. Configure Storage Host: Edit the configuration to set the IP address of your storage host for SCP transfers.

3. Set Up Cron Job (Optional): bash

   Edit crontab

   crontab -e

   Add a line to run tests periodically, for example every hour:

   0 * * * * /path/to/execute.sh

Execute the test runner:

• For Refrence, I have also provided a sample pytest file.
• Save the test file locally.

bash python3 run_pytest.py

You will be prompted for:

1. The Path for the test file: Enter the path to your pytest file
2. The machine name(s) or pattern to run them on: Specify which machines should execute the tests

The system will:

• Execute the tests on the specified machines
• Display the results locally
• Transfer the results to the storage host automatically

• Python 3.x
• FastAPI/Uvicorn
• Database (as specified in requirements)

1. Install Dependencies: bash pip install -r requirements_host.txt

2. Start the Dashboard Server: bash uvicorn hosting_file:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload

1. Open a web browser and navigate to:

   http://:8000

2. For New Users:

   • Click on the registration link
   • Complete the registration form
   • Submit your credentials

3. For Existing Users:

   • Enter your login credentials
   • Access the dashboard

Note: Test results will only appear in the dashboard after tests have been executed on the slave/minion side.

• Ensure proper network connectivity between slave and host machines
• Verify that SCP transfers are configured correctly
• Check that all dependencies are installed on both systems
• Confirm that the host server is running and accessible on the specified port
