MMM-Tools : System stat monitoring and commanding (ATB Supported)

[Mykle1]

@Sean

I just reinstalled MMM-Tool and it is working now. I don’t know why it didn’t work the first time. shrug

• Pi 3 Model B, 1GB, Hardware : BCM2709, Revision = a02082, (Sony, UK)
• Raspbian Jessie

{
  	module: 'MMM-Tools',
  	position: 'top_center',
  	config: {
		device : "RPI", // "RPI" is also available
	        refresh_interval_ms : 10000,
		warning_interval_ms : 1000 * 60 * 5,
		enable_warning : false,
		    warning : {
		    CPU_TEMPERATURE : 65,
		    GPU_TEMPERATURE : 65,
		    CPU_USAGE : 75,
		    STORAGE_USED_PERCENT : 80,
      		    MEMORY_USED_PERCENT : 80,
    	},

@randomnoise only label is displayed, when module is stopped before getting results of script execution of node_helper. Possible suspicious point is…

• module(including your other modules) has error, so front electron halts.

npm start dev, see the browser dev console. If there is no suspicious message(usually red lines), hmmmm…

The issue seems pretty straightforward.
If i place it top_center. It works fine.
bottom_right (where i want it) without any other modules there, it displays the text only. No bars etc. If i re-add the module i already have there it doesnt show at all…

@Kimzer that might be related with width vlaue. That might be not bug. I don’t assume how much width user assign to my module. So you could adjust your GOOD view with css by yourself. Give your favorite width or min-width to the module in css.

Anyway, someone could feel embarrassed with this inconvenient approach, I’ll add default min-width value in next commit.
Thanks for your advice.

@Kimzer @Sean

Yup, can confirm it works just fine in top_left… my top left width happens to be manually set to be 480px due to another module I’m running so that’s probably why its happy now.

BTW I forgot to set to RPI, but it actually still worked just fine when set to ATB by default.

@randomnoise screen controlling and measuring temperatures are different between rpi and atb.

[Kimzer]

Probably not a bug at all, may be my custom css that is causing issues.
Tried min-width and width but really didnt fix anything.

[randomnoise]

@Sean I’m not using the screen controls so that’s fair enough. I just compared the temp from MMM-Tools to that from MMM-system stats and yes you’re correct the values are wrong if I set the type to ATB. Forgive my rambling :)

@Kimzer ok, tomorrow i’ll try testing widely and can provide better settings. Sorry for inconvenience of all and thanks for your interesting. After work, I’ll post about that.

[Kimzer]

Great stuff! :) Seems like i can run the module fine anywhere but the bottom rows.

[A Former User]

@Kimzer You are right. that is so weird, only in the bottom region, it won’t works. I’d never imagined this.
But, now I catch this error, I believe I can solve this problem.

@Kimzer Here is hotfix.
open MMM-Tools.css, find below section, add margin-top:0; there.

.Tools .status_item .container {
  width: 75%;
  order: 2;
  height:100%;
  overflow:hidden;
  margin-top:0;
}

MM’s default main.css set margin-top:25px; to .bottom .bar, It makes collision with my css.

[Kimzer]

Perfect. I just included it in my custom.css
Thanks for the fix! :D

[Kimzer]

Any way to make the bars showing ram be transparent?

[A Former User]

@Kimzer in css, change #xxx to rgba(00,00,00,0.5) which you want.
Ex) rgba(255,0,0,0.5) will be half-transparent red.

[Kimzer]

Went another way and used opacity. Worked great :)

@Sean Hi Sean,
the module does not show correct values for SD card space for me.
Actual values:

Shown values:

Any idea?

[lavolp3]

I think you need to use sudo du -hs / instead of du -hs to show usage of all folders. This shows me the 6.5G my system is using instead of the 1.5G which is not enough and supposedly only valid for part of the system.

@lavolp3
Thanks for information. I’ll fix it later, however you can modify the source on line 34 of node_helper.js.

[lavolp3]

@sean Also, I think you could cut the line so the dash, or in your case the dot, does not appear.
If I find the time I’ll send a PR.
