How to Monitor Progress

Real-Time Dashboard (Recommended)

# Auto-refreshing status dashboard (updates every 30 seconds)
./scripts/process_monitor.sh watch

Press Ctrl+C to exit the watch mode.

Quick Status Checks

# Show all running processes
./scripts/process_monitor.sh status

# Show VM status
./scripts/process_monitor.sh vms

# Show downloaded ISOs
./scripts/process_monitor.sh isos

# Show test results
./scripts/process_monitor.sh tests

# Show everything at once
./scripts/process_monitor.sh all

# Show process logs

Check Log Files

# Master orchestration log (overall progress)
tail -f orchestration_logs/master_*.log

# ISO download progress
tail -f orchestration_logs/iso_download.log

Current Progress

Phase 1: ISO Download (IN PROGRESS)

Status: Downloading Ubuntu 20.04.6 ISO (15% complete, ~5 minutes remaining for this ISO)

ISOs to Download (12 total):

  • Ubuntu 20.04.6 (15% - downloading)
  • Ubuntu 22.04.5
  • Ubuntu 24.04.3
  • Debian 11.12.0
  • Debian 12.9.0
  • Fedora Server 38
  • Fedora Server 39
  • Fedora Server 40
  • Fedora Server 41
  • AlmaLinux 9.5
  • Rocky Linux 9.5
  • openSUSE Leap 15.6

Estimated Time for Phase 1: 1-3 hours (depending on internet speed)

Upcoming Phases

  • Phase 2: ISO Verification (~5-10 minutes)
  • Phase 3: VM Creation (~5-10 minutes)
  • Phase 4: OS Installation (~3-6 hours, parallel)
  • Phase 5: VM Archiving (~30-60 minutes)
  • Phase 6: Mail Server Tests (~2-4 hours)
  • Phase 7: Report Generation (~5 minutes)

Total Estimated Time: 6-12 hours

What's Happening Now

  1. ✅ Environment setup completed
  2. ✅ Directories created (orchestration_logs, isos, vms, etc.)
  3. 🔄 Downloading ISOs from official sources
  4. ⏳ Waiting: ISO verification
  5. ⏳ Waiting: VM creation
  6. ⏳ Waiting: OS installation
  7. ⏳ Waiting: Testing
  8. ⏳ Waiting: Reports

Process Safety Features

Automatic Timeout Protection

Each phase has maximum execution times:

  • ISO Download: 2 hours max
  • VM Creation: 1 hour per VM
  • VM Installation: 90 minutes per VM
  • Mail Server Tests: 2 hours total

If any process exceeds its timeout, it will be automatically killed to prevent hanging.

Periodic Monitoring

The orchestrator checks process status every 30 seconds:

  • Verifies process is still running
  • Checks elapsed time vs timeout
  • Logs progress updates
  • Kills stuck processes if needed

Process Tracking

All process PIDs are tracked in:

orchestration_logs/pids/
└── iso_download.pid (PID: 319262)

How to Manage Processes

If a Process Gets Stuck

# Identify stuck process
./scripts/process_monitor.sh status

# Kill specific stuck process
./scripts/process_monitor.sh kill iso_download

# Restart that phase
./scripts/master_orchestrator.sh download-isos

Stop Everything

# Find orchestrator PID
ps aux | grep master_orchestrator

# Graceful shutdown
kill <PID>

# Force kill if needed (wait 10 seconds first)
kill -9 <PID>

# Kill all related processes
pkill -f master_orchestrator
pkill -f iso_manager
pkill -f qemu_manager

Restart Specific Phase

# If ISO download failed/was killed
./scripts/master_orchestrator.sh download-isos

# If VM creation failed
./scripts/master_orchestrator.sh create-vms

# etc.

Expected Timeline

Time from Start Phase Expected Activity
0-2 hours ISO Download Downloading 12 ISOs (~50GB total)
2-2.2 hours ISO Verification Checking SHA256 checksums
2.2-2.4 hours VM Creation Creating 12 VM disk images
2.4-8 hours OS Installation All VMs installing in parallel
8-9 hours VM Archiving Compressing installed VMs
9-13 hours Mail Tests Testing Mail Server Factory on each VM
13 hours Reports Generating test reports

What to Do Now

Option 1: Monitor Actively

# Watch real-time progress
./scripts/process_monitor.sh watch

Leave this running in a terminal to see continuous updates.

Option 2: Check Periodically

Set a reminder to check every 1-2 hours:

# Quick status check
./scripts/process_monitor.sh all

Option 3: Let It Run Overnight

Since the full workflow takes 6-12 hours, you can:

  1. Let it run overnight
  2. Check in the morning
  3. Review test results in test_results/ directory
  4. Check final logs in orchestration_logs/master_*.log

What to Check Tomorrow Morning

# Check if orchestration completed
./scripts/process_monitor.sh status

# View final results
ls -lh test_results/

# Check for any errors
grep ERROR orchestration_logs/master_*.log

# View test summary
cat test_results/test_results_*.md

Success Indicators

✅ Complete Success means:

  1. All 12 ISOs downloaded and verified
  2. All 12 VMs created successfully
  3. All OS installations completed (login prompt visible)
  4. All VMs archived to vms/archive/
  5. All Mail Server Factory tests passed
  6. Test reports generated in test_results/

You can verify by:

# Count ISOs (should be 12)
ls -1 isos/*.iso | wc -l

# Count VMs (should be 12)
ls -1d vms/*/ | grep -v archive | grep -v logs | wc -l

# Count archived VMs (should be 12)
ls -1 vms/archive/*.tar.gz | wc -l

# Check test reports exist
ls -l test_results/test_results_*.md

Logs Location

All logs are stored in:

orchestration_logs/
├── master_*.log           # Overall orchestration log
├── iso_download.log       # ISO download progress
├── iso_verify.log         # ISO verification log
├── vm_create_*.log        # VM creation logs (per distribution)
├── mail_tests.log         # Mail Server Factory test log
└── pids/                  # Process PID tracking

Common Issues & Solutions

"No space left on device"

# Check disk usage
df -h .

# Clean up if needed
rm -rf vms/archive/*  # Remove old archives
rm -rf isos/*.iso     # Remove ISOs after VMs created

Process hangs indefinitely

# Check stuck process
./scripts/process_monitor.sh status

# Kill it
./scripts/process_monitor.sh kill <process_name>

# It will be auto-killed after timeout anyway

Want to start over

# Stop everything
pkill -f master_orchestrator

# Clean up
rm -rf orchestration_logs/* vms/* isos/*

# Restart
./scripts/master_orchestrator.sh all

Next Steps After Completion

Once orchestration completes successfully:

  1. ✅ Review test reports in test_results/
  2. ✅ Update TESTING.md with results
  3. ✅ Update README.md with distribution compatibility
  4. ✅ Update website with test results
  5. ✅ Document any distribution-specific issues
  6. ✅ Archive VMs are ready for reuse

Quick Reference Commands

# Watch progress
./scripts/process_monitor.sh watch

# Check status
./scripts/process_monitor.sh all

# View logs
tail -f orchestration_logs/master_*.log

# Kill stuck process
./scripts/process_monitor.sh kill <process_name>

# Run specific phase
./scripts/master_orchestrator.sh <phase-name>
