This project is used to give you an overview of a computer and its system resources. There are graphs showing the history of the data. You can zoom in on the graphs and select any given moment on the graph to see the data for this time.
There are two files you have to run. One is the generator.py which stores the data in an SQLite-database.
python3 generator.py # assuming Python 3.6
The other file is the server.py which runs a flask server where clients can connect to using a browser.
At the moment the client is designed to be accessed from a mobile phone. You can even use the website as a Progressive Web App.
python3 server.py # assuming Python 3.6
Then you can connect to the server using a browser by visiting <ip-address>:5050.
- Python 3.6+
- Flask + FlaskSocketIO
- SQLite
- psutils
Install all python dependencies by running:
pip install -r requirements.txt --user
At the moment the client is only designed for mobile phones. (A desktop version will follow soon).
The client can update automatically or only when you press the refresh button. You can adjust the timerange of the graphs with the dropdown on the top-left.
You can use pinch to zoom the graph.
When using one touch in the upper half of the graph you can move the cursor.
When using one touch in the lower half of the graph you can move the graph.
There is a settings.conf file where you can adjust the server to your requirements.
This file has two sections. One for the generator and one for the server.
For the server you can change the port to connect to and if you want to run the flask server in debug mode.
For the generator you can chose the directory and the name of the database. How often data is gathered and the maximal age of the data.
You can add your own data by modifying the gather_data() function in generator.py.
Just add your own data to the data-dictionary. By using create_category you will get an object with all the needed fields which you can then fill with data.
The key will be used as the label for the category. Your data has to have a field entries where you store your current values.
There is also a field settings. At the moment the only value that can be used is nograph to avoid showing graphs. By default this is used to avoid showing graphs for the remaining space of the disks.
For some examples more just check out the already existing functions called in gather_data() to provide data.
Make UI responsive to be able to be used from the desktop. Add process list to see which processes take up most of the system resources.
