Installation
Download it from the official repository in Github:
sudo wget http://goo.gl/yv46v3 -O rpimonitor_2.5.1-1_all.deb
Install the dependencies by executing the following command (be careful, the file in red is a new dependency):
sudo apt-get install librrds-perl libhttp-daemon-perl libjson-perl libipc-sharelite-perl
Installation or upgrade can be done with the command:
sudo dpkg -i rpimonitor_2.5.1-1_all.deb
Upgrade
If you are doing an upgrade and want to remove the strange peak you may see in network graphs, you should adjust the min and max values of RRD database storing network information.
This can be done with the two following commands:
rrdtool tune /usr/share/rpimonitor/web/stat/net_received.rrd -a net_received:0
rrdtool tune /usr/share/rpimonitor/web/stat/net_send.rrd -i net_send:0
Customization
RPi-Monitor is fully configurable so if the displayed information doesn't match you need, customize it.
Everything display in status pages or in statistics pages can be modified, tuned and customized to your needs.
To see how to customize it, use the command
man rpimonitord
and
man rpimonitord.conf
Man pages are also available in the wiki.
Usage
Once RPi-Monitor is configured as you wished, browse http://RPiIpAddress:8888/ to access to the web interface.
Note: The graphs rendering may have strange behavior on Google-Chrome on Windows while it works fine on Linux. Internet Explorer is even not able to display statistics, it is then advised to use Firefox on Windows or better... switch to Linux! ;-).
