ServerStatus from IP list: up or down?

Having the PI only display, but not query, makes architectural sense. And you are correct, there are other options for running programs that can dump results to be displayed. [I can actually think of a boatload of watchdog programs that I’d love to display in a command-like center off a little Pi sitting on my desk!]

Do you have something for MM2 to display such results (either txt or xml files) that you particularly like? I looked at
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/268/mmm-httprequestdisplay
but I am running into problems, and the Dev seems to be out of country.

I don’t know JS & simply don’t have the time to learn it - but I can recognize that the PI MM2 is great for a command center. I could dump the result files onto a local dir from anywhere, and the PI would not have to struggle with domain authentication (I understand that is a problem).

Thanks for yanking the discussion back to where it should be.

Personally, I use Monitorix on my network. It dumps data into RRD files. While I haven’t implemented a display on my mirror (because I have a different display elsewhere for that), one could use rrdtools to fetch the data and display it.

Looks interesting. I guess I’ll have to ask someone how to use THAT for MM2. Let me look if I can use it at my work for other stuff: I spend my days monitoring & then having others fix things :)

Monitorix can be installed on an rpi, and it even has an rpi module already built-in for monitoring temperature.

@amanzimdwini is this what you asked for in first place?

Let me have a look. On first inspection, it looks perfect. I’ll let you know

Pls update your Readme to REPLACE module: 'MMM-ip" with ‘MMM-ping’ :)
Could not get the options

                        colored: true,
                        display: 'offline',

to work - display is still both and white only:

(how is the display order sorted?)

I also want to change the font size down - custom.css for me…
Thanks, though!

@amanzimdwini

config has to look like this

{
    module: 'MMM-ping',
    position: 'bottom_left',
    config: {
        hosts: ['www.github.com', '192.168.1.888'],
        colored: true,
        display: 'offline'
    }
}

the config options neet to be part of the config section

Duh.

Sorry. Works! Thanks

ps - want to reduce the font size, but can;t figure out which element you are using. Any hints?
(and the Readme was bad…)
