Bioinformaticians and data scientists rely on computational frameworks (e.g. snakemake) to process, analyze, integrate and annotate data of various types. Such frameworks allow one to combine heterogeneous software tools in a consistent manner, which enables the reproduction of scientific results, and the reuse of the same pipeline on different datasets. The challenge is, however, to track the execution of the individual steps or monitor which datasets have been processed, given that multiple pipelines are executed at the same time, or that a large number of steps are executed in parallel for multiple datasets. This challenge is addressed by panoptes, a tool that can be used by administrators who want to monitor their servers, data scientists or bioinformaticians who want to have a general overview of the progress of their pipelines or web developers who want to integrate the service in bigger web applications. Tools like panoptes allow scientists to focus on their scientific questions and spend less time on tedious tasks. Panoptes is a free and open source tool under the MIT license. |
