jc - JSON Convert vmstat command output streaming parser

This streaming parser outputs JSON Lines (cli) or returns an Iterable of Dictionaries (module)

Options supported: -a, -w, -d, -t

The epoch calculated timestamp field is naive. (i.e. based on the local time of the system the parser is run on)

The epoch_utc calculated timestamp field is timezone-aware and is only available if the timezone field is UTC.

Usage (cli):

$ vmstat | jc --vmstat-s

Note: When piping jc converted vmstat output to other processes it may appear the output is hanging due to the OS pipe buffers. This is because vmstat output is too small to quickly fill up the buffer. Use the -u option to unbuffer the jc output if you would like immediate output. See the readme for more information.

Usage (module):

import jc

result = jc.parse('vmstat_s', vmstat_command_output.splitlines())
for item in result:
    # do something

[0] naive timestamp if -t flag is used
[1] aware timestamp if -t flag is used and UTC TZ
[2] false if error parsing

Examples:

$ vmstat | jc --vmstat-s
{"runnable_procs":2,"uninterruptible_sleeping_procs":0,"virtual_mem...}

$ vmstat | jc --vmstat-s -r

parse

def parse(data, raw=False, quiet=False, ignore_exceptions=False)

Main text parsing generator function. Returns an iterable object.

Parameters:

data:              (iterable)  line-based text data to parse
                               (e.g. sys.stdin or str.splitlines())

raw:               (boolean)   unprocessed output if True
quiet:             (boolean)   suppress warning messages if True
ignore_exceptions: (boolean)   ignore parsing exceptions if True

Returns:

Iterable of Dictionaries
