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! ;-).
