I was poking around on the web like you do the other day and thinking about how I track what's going on with my B3s. It had occurred to me for a while that without ssh into the B3 I don't get a lot of information out on what's used, what's happening etc.

I found this... http://ezservermonitor.com/

Seems B3 returns 0 in cores enquiry however, the author made a mod and now it works. Dead easy to install, very lightweight and to my eyes quite appealing design. I'm using the web version.

I've added Squeezeserver and my wireless printer(not strictly B3 related, now working great with my B3.

Hi!

It does not show me any information about CPU and Load.
Does your modified version shows these information?
If yes, can you provide modified version?

when I installed it last week I had no CPU load numbers, no network numbers an no information in the section that shows the # of cores.

There is a version on GitHub that sorts out the network numbers. I'll send you the other files that the author modified to get CPU load numbers. I'll also post my service entry changes.

i'll also ask the author when he'll release the updates.

Hopefully the author will add the following items except the esm.config.json addition to the GitHub version if not already done. As best I can tell these are all the changes made for it to work.

To monitor Squeeze server on B3....
Add following to esm.config.json
{
"name": "Squeeze Server",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 9000
},

My cpu.php (note this is not all of it. Starts after line starting... if ($cpuinfo
{
$processors = preg_split('/\s?\n\s?\n/', trim($cpuinfo));

foreach ($processors as $processor)
{
$details = preg_split('/\n/', $processor, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

foreach ($details as $detail)
{
list($key, $value) = preg_split('/\s*:\s*/', trim($detail));

switch (strtolower($key))
{
case 'model name':
case 'cpu model':
case 'cpu':
case 'processor':
$model = $value;
break;

case 'cpu mhz':
case 'clock':
$frequency = $value.' MHz';
break;

case 'cache size':
case 'l2 cache':
$cache = $value;
break;

case 'bogomips':
$bogomips = $value;
break;
}
}
}
}

my load_average.php
<?php
require 'Utils/Misc.class.php';

if (!($load_tmp = shell_exec('cat /proc/loadavg | awk \'{print $1","$2","$3}\'')))
{
$load = array(0, 0, 0);
}
else
{
// Number of cores
$cores = Misc::getCpuCoresNumber();

$load_exp = explode(',', $load_tmp);

$load = array_map(
function ($value, $cores) {
$v = (int)($value * 100 / $cores);
if ($v > 100)
$v = 100;
return $v;
},
$load_exp,
array_fill(0, 3, $cores)
);
}


$datas = $load;

echo json_encode($datas);

Part of my Misc.class.php (The part that handles number of cores)
* Returns CPU cores number
*/
public static function getCpuCoresNumber()
{
if (!($num_cores = shell_exec('/bin/grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo')))
{
if (!($num_cores = trim(shell_exec('/usr/bin/nproc'))))
{
$num_cores = 1;
}
}
if ((int)$num_cores <= 0)
$num_cores = 1;

return (int)$num_cores;
}

Why not use linux dash master?
Simple to install just copy in the web folder.
Is fast and accurate.

Short answer, was on RPi Google+ list when someone mentioned EZServermonitor.Just downloaded it and copied to my web directory. I'd not heard of linux-dash until you mentioned it.

Downloaded Linux-dash and installed. It reports 0% CPU util when my B3 was busy. I'm guessing it's a similar problem to EZServerMonitor, but is only a guess. Because Linux-dash uses a rolling graph for CPU and memory use it appears to use more CPU than EZServermonitor that is single shot (by default).

I guess it is personal preference. Currently happy with EZServermonitor, enough for what I want currently.

True but I like to see the processes that are running and what memory and cpu is consumed.

Hi!

Nice tool either.
Is there any tool to monitor the SMART Parameters of the installed harddisk?
I already installed the smartmon tools, but would like to see it via my browser instead of a shell.

both these last two questions are answered by using munin instead. Doesnt look nearly as nice as ezservermonitor but has a much wider range of monitoring tools.

Hi!

Installed munin by apt-get install munin munin-node, but how can I access the tools now?
I'm not that familiar with Linux, but didn't find anything within the web-Folder of the B3

For anyone else looking at monitoring I found this blog entry. Very readable, i was initially surprised at the number but realised I should not be. Some look really interesting, however decided to stick with a limited number and try to focus on web based to meet my (limited) needs.
