    Snap on Windows An Intel-sponsored, open-source telemetry framework IT 447 April 4, 2017 Phillip Anderson McKade Clements Devin Durtschi Mathew Kuhn Jesse Millar Coach: Dr. Jay Ekstrom Sponsor: Taylor Thomas Table of Contents Table of Contents Executive Summary Introduction Concept Definition Background Stakeholders Intel Companies with Windows Systems Operators of Windows Systems Open-source Maintainers of the Snap Project Members of the Snap Community Stakeholder Requirements Validation Verification System Definition System Requirements Logical Architecture Project Component Details Build Windows Test Environment Perfmon Plugin Sysinternals Plugin Active Directory Plugin Create an Automated Build Script for Snap Critical Path Verification and Validation Project Management Objective Statement List of Deliverables Conclusion References Appendix Source Code Constraint Matrix Governance Framework Communication Acceptance Documentation Gantt Chart Executive Summary Snap for Windows is a Brigham Young University Information Technology 2016-2017 capstone project. Snap is an open-source telemetry system headed by Intel, meant to facilitate the remote monitoring of large networks and company infrastructures. Snap works through three types of “plugins,” which allow for modularized collecting, processing, and publishing of system metrics. These metrics can include data such as cpu usage, number of processes running on a system, and memory available. Previously, Snap’s functionalities were constrained to Linux systems only, and were not compatible with Windows. This prevented a large portion of company infrastructures from utilizing Snap, as companies typically run the Windows operating system on a large portion of their network. The objective for this project included automating Snap’s build process onto Windows through a build script and creating three separate collector plugins based on the Windows’ Perfmon, Active Directory, and Sysinternals applications.

  • Windows Tool Reference
    AppendixChapter A1 Windows Tool Reference Windows Management Tools This appendix lists sets of Windows management, maintenance, configuration, and monitor- ing tools that you may not be familiar with. Some are not automatically installed by Windows Setup but instead are hidden away in obscure folders on your Windows Setup DVD or CD- ROM. Others must be downloaded or purchased from Microsoft. They can be a great help in using, updating, and managing Windows. We’ll discuss the following tool kits: ■ Standard Tools—Our pick of handy programs installed by Windows Setup that we think are unappreciated and not well-enough known. ■ Support Tools—A set of useful command-line and GUI programs that can be installed from your Windows Setup DVD or CD-ROM. ■ Value-Added Tools—Several more sets of utilities hidden away on the Windows Setup CD-ROM. ■ Windows Ultimate Extras and PowerToys for XP—Accessories that can be downloaded for free from microsoft.com. The PowerToys include TweakUI, a program that lets you make adjustments to more Windows settings than you knew existed. ■ Resource Kits—A set of books published by Microsoft for some versions of Windows that includes a CD-ROM containing hundreds of utility programs. What you may not have known is that in some cases you can download the Resource Kit program toolkits with- out purchasing the books. ■ Subsystem for UNIX-Based Applications (SUA)—A package of network services and command-line tools that provide a nearly complete UNIX environment. It can be installed only on Windows Vista Ultimate and Enterprise, and Windows Server 2003.

A well- intrusion-tolerant applications. A complete implementation of known problem with OS-level virtualization is that all OS-level OS-level virtualization on the Windows platform requires virtual machines running on top of a kernel share the kernel’s virtualization of Windows services, such as system services like state, because OS-level virtualization does not virtualize the the Remote Procedure Call Server Service (RPCSS), because kernel state. On the Windows platform, a set of user-level they are essentially extensions of the kernel. As Windows system services, which behave like daemons in a Unix-style OS, system services work very differently from their counterparts on are used to augment the kernel and provide various critical UNIX-style OS, i.e., daemons, and many of their functionalities to other services and applications. For example, implementation details are proprietary, virtualizing Windows Windows’s inter-process communication mechanisms such as system services turned out to be the most challenging technical COM, DCOM and RPC, are supported by the RPCSS service.
