Dear DRBD users drbdtop is a new utility in the DRBD family that allows live monitoring the current state of DRBD resources and interacting with these resources. This started as a hobby/spare time project of two gophers in the team, but by now it should be useful for regular, and especially not so regular, users of DRBD. Some of the features: - Should work on drbd 8.4 as well as 9. I mainly test it on 9, but having it feature complete for 8.4 is certainly a goal. Currently I'm only aware that meta-data creation on 8.4 will not work, this will be fixed in the next drbd-utils release. - Provides an overview about the DRBD resources in the system (up and down), with health status of the connection, local disks,... - Searching and filtering of resources - When pressing a movement-key (or tab), allows the user to gather detailed infos, ranging from basically a "drbdsetup status" with extra information and hints how to solve the issue, to in-sync progress bars, to "dmesg|grep resource". - Allows to interact with resources like up/down, connect/disconnect, adjust, primary/secondary,... This is menu driven - Multi-selecting resources and then executing commands on the selected set (e.g., selecting multiple resources and then adjusting all of these). It is a v0.1, don't expect too much ;). It has a github page[1], pre-built binaries[2], and a project page[3] with screen shots and additional information. The project page is bit outdated and does not mention some of the newer features (e.g., multi-select), but it should be fine to see how we intended it to work. Personally, I prefer feedback/patches via mail (drbd-user ML), but github should be fine as well. This really needs feedback from users, we developers use DRBD daily and are confident with the commandline anyways.
