I'm trying to write a script that calculates the rate of disk usage. I think the best way to accomplish this task is to write a script that will monitor a server's capacity and how much space is being used on a daily basis and store the information in a SQLite database. Then the program can retrieve the necessary information from the database to compute the rate.
Server 1 3/11/10 10 GB Used/50 GB Capacity 3/12/10 15 GB Used/50 GB Capacity 3/13/10 17 GB Used/50 GB Capacity Rate of usage = 7 GB / 3 days = 2.3 GB per day Eventually, I want the script to issue a warning if the server is in danger of becoming full in a certain number of days. My problem is I'm not sure how to store and retrieve the dates. I assume the best way to record the date is to use datetime.date. >>> import datetime >>> datetime.date.today() datetime.date(2010, 3, 11) How could I pass the datetime object into the database? Any advice would be appreciated! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
