Gluster users - Aug 2014 - How to see gluster in a picture

Hi guys, yesterday I was trying to get a mental picture of my gluster
volumes and I came to realize it was getting complicated, or I was
too lazy who knows. I googled a bit and couldn't find any good way to
achieve it so I started coding. After a few coffees I did this
http://viviendolared.blogspot.com.ar/2014/08/gluster-graficando-mi-gluster-i.html
(sorry,
spanish is my mother tongue), basically it's a Java program that builds a
dot file from your gluster configuration so you can plot it and get a
pretty good-enough image of your cluster. So far I've only tested it with
Distribute and Distributed-Replicated volumes, if anyone wants to share its
"gluster vol info" output I can plot the output for you and debug the
program a bit more. I plan to release the code soon, but as I am not a
developer perse I've got no idea how or where to do that. Hope you like it,
and please give me all the feedback you want.

Regards,

This is pretty cool. :)

Ideally, we'd like you to chuck the source code up on the Gluster Forge:

  https://forge.gluster.org

Git can be a bit of a nightmare to get your head around though, so it _may_
be easier for you to use GitHub instead:

  http://github.com

GitHub has a larger Community, and better user interface.  Still not completely
trivial to use though.

Either way works.  Try stuff out, and see how you go. :)

Regards and best wishes,

Nice! Utilities like this really help in understanding how volumes are 
distributed over the different storage servers.

There is a Python tool for displaying the volumes and bricks on the 
Gluster Forge too:
- https://forge.gluster.org/lsgvt

I guess your tool would be a welcome addition to the projects on the 
Gluster Forge:
- https://forge.gluster.org/projects

Thanks,
