Introduction
The Green Metrics Tool is a holistic framework to measure the energy / co2 of your application.
It is comprised of:
- A Python backend that handles the infrastructure orchestration
- C UNIX-style reporters that generate energy and resource consumption metrics
- A Python API to retrieve metrics
- A native javascript web frontend that visalizes the data from the API in some nice charts
Getting to know the Green Metrics Tool
We recommend that you start with the Philosophy & Methodology → part to understand the WHY of the tool and some design decisions.
After that we recommend the Measurement Process → to get a high level overview of WHAT the tool does and HOW.
From here you can branch off in two paths:
Measure your own app with our online hosted service
Measuring with our hosted service →
This is a one page summary of how to measure a sample application.
After that you can look at our Example Apps Repository to see some prepared apps that can be directly consumed.
Your app must conform to the usage_scenario.yml → specification and be Containerized →
Install and measure locally
Under Installation on Linux → / Installation on macOS → you find the detailed installation instructions.
Then proceed with Containerizing and measuring own applications → to understand how to prepare your app to be consumed by the Green Metrics Tool.
Be sure to read the usage_scenario.json → specification to get to know the flexibility of our tool to measure your application.
Then proceed to Measuring Locally
