Internet Monitor

Mykle1

@Mykle1 As I posted up above, seems like others are having the same issue. I noticed that in the logs the internet monitor is posting the speed every few seconds so I was thinking this was a probably cause?

Though the amount of slowdown just to show the wifi indicator was a little too much

My problem isn’t slowdown, it’s crashing my MM2 (see previous post) so I’m trying to get the the logs so I can post them and perhaps get a fix. Also, I’m on a Pi3

@Mykle1 run pm2 logs from the terminal.

@ronny3050 - this is what I got when I ran pm2 logs

[STREAMING] Now streaming realtime logs for [all] processes

@Mykle1 Could you run the following?
pm2 flush
pm2 logs and wait for a couple of minutes of log?

Thanks!

Mykle1

@ronny3050 wait for it to complete doing something? Will it stop by itself or I have to do something?

If so, what do I have to do?

It’s running now

ronny3050

@Mykle1 yes, after typing pm2 logs it will update logs realtime so then you can post it here. I am wondering what exactly crashes your mirror inside my module.

Mykle1

@ronny3050 ok, I’m waiting for it to complete

Mykle1

I’ve been waiting for 34 minutes and nothing has happened. My console still reads:

[STREAMING] Now streaming realtime logs for [all] processes.

Am I supposed to do something? run MM with your module perhaps? You didn’t say

Mykle1

Well, I waited over and hour, staring at the console, and nothing happened since I ran:
pm2 flush
pm2 logs

Here is what I’ve been staring at:

pi@Pi3:~ $ pm2 flush

@cowboysdude said in Internet Monitor:

I tell you what I’d do before I tried it again… backup my sd card

Done. I made two backups of my SD card. One locally and one on my backup server. While that was going on I installed a fan on my Pi. I have spare parts lying around. Good little mini project while I waited for the backups. Now my Pi runs at 35 C, down from 60 C. Sweet.

cowboysdude

@Mykle1 That’s a great idea that I should probably do as well… adding the fan!!!

@ronny3050 thanks for a nice Monitor, i love the wifi indicator.

You asked for wishes for the Internet Monitor.
I have been looking in the code if it is possible to give te wifi indicators some color.
Making strength_full.png green, strength_almost yellow, strength_half orange and strength_non.png red. Would love to see this as an config option of in the my custom.css.

Is there a way to do this?

Advokaten

@pjkoeleman is this module working for you? I can’t get it to work :(

pjkoeleman

@Advokaten Yes it’s just working as discribed. Here is my part off config.js for the Internet Monitor.

{
  Module: 'internet-monitor',
  position: 'bottom_right',
  config: {
    type: 'minimal',
    maxTime: 10000,
    updateInterval: 120000,
    verbose: false,
    displayStrength: true,
    displaySpeed: false,
    strengthIconSize: 40,
    maxGaugeScale: 25
  }
},

Now I want to bring a little color to the wifi indicator.

Advokaten

@pjkoeleman Thank you! Using your config lines made it work somehow! I am too interested in changing color of the wi-fi strength png’s. I tried changing all the white levelColors without success. Don’t know what is turning the strength bars into a white color :( Anybody who could help us out? Thanks.

ronny3050

@pjkoeleman @Advokaten try changing type in config to type: '' from type: 'minimal'.
Also, thank you for the kind words! :)

Advokaten

@ronny3050 I’m sorry. I don’t understand if this made any difference other than it took some extra time to load the indicator. Is there a way to change colors in the css file now or what…? Sorry once more for being such a nublet and thank you for taking your time to do stuff like this!

ronny3050

@Advokaten @pjkoeleman Silly me, I am sorry, I thought you requested colors for the speed gauges, which are already there. As for colors for the wifi strength indicator, there are two ways:

CSS coloring (you have complete control over the colors)
Pre-made images with different colors (colors chosen by me).

I am sure 1 would be preferred. I will get back to you in a little bit with my progress on this. Thank you very much for suggesting this.

cowboysdude

Yes #1 preferred ;)
