System Monitoring - How does yours look?

Ok. How do you backup your NAS?

I am doing this also via “Samba Backup”.

Hi! Can You share yaml code Home Assistant Info card?

Yes, no problem. I shared this a few posts back:

Learning so much today by using your stuff! Would you mind sharing the sensor config for the Home Assistant Info part too? I actually have managed to stumble my way this far… Just not sure how to get these missing items working…

For the File Size I use the build in integration

Below the sensor for the supervisor updates, more info can be found in this link:

  - platform: command_line
    name: Supervisor updates
    command: 'curl http://supervisor/supervisor/info -H "Authorization: Bearer $(printenv SUPERVISOR_TOKEN)" | jq ''{"newest_version":.data.version_latest,"current_version":.data.version,"update_available":.data.update_available,"addons":[.data.addons[] | select(.update_available)]}'''
    value_template: "{{ value_json.addons | length }}"
    unit_of_measurement: pending update(s)
    json_attributes:
    - update_available
    - newest_version
    - current_version
    - addons

Oh and for the restart I simply call service: ‘homeassistant.restart’

Love this!
Wanting me to add more around Synology as mine is pretty plain.

Also, how are you monitoring MariaDB, PHP MyAdmin etc?

Hi @91JJ Those are the official add-ons, not separate containers or anything. But I have just followed some steps in another post in this forum: Get notified of Available Hassio Addon Updates

Then to show them in the dashboard I made a vertical stack inside a grid-layout for every addon like this:

    - type: vertical-stack
      view_layout:
        grid-column: 3/3
        grid-row: 1/1

Any way to disable this behavior in canvas-gauge-card?

Did you check the documentation? All Configuration Options
Tried it locally and “animation: false” solved that problem for me

I am mostly still trying to pull all the information I want to see into HA, but I have already managed to set up my Docker Monitoring Dashboard:

It is automatically showing all new docker containers(except for the Images, I have to store them on the server). Took me quite a while and I had to change the code of about 4 different HACS projects, but finally it is working as intended

You did that with some loop function?

I am using the auto-entities card(🔹 Auto-entities - Automatically fill cards with entities) to select the docker containers by name(with a wildcard)

A user has created a neat docker card if you’d like to revise your view:

@kamtschatka
Possible to share your source code for this card please?
thank you

I’m using PING in combination with the Uptime Card: https://smarthomepursuits.com/how-to-monitor-devices-in-home-assistant/

I am using a few different cards for that, should be possible to find out which ones are used. The only thing you need to do manually is to download the icons for the docker containers and put them into the folder HA uses to serve files.

Thank you!

First time I see “placeholder” here. I understand how it should work but it doesn’t…

Well, you have completely exchanged a card for another one, so it is not surprising that it doesn’t work :wink:
I am using the easy-layout-card: Easy-Layout-Card: Duplicate cards for multiple entities
You have used the layout-card, which does not have this possibility(which is why I created the easy-layout-card)

OK! understood.
Sorry, I did a search on Google about this easy-layout-card and didn’t find it. I thought it was linked to an old version of layout-card.
Thank you for sharing and explanation.
I really like the result of this dashboard. What a nice job :wink:
