System Monitoring - How does yours look?

Easier to install netdata on your host and pull the netdata data into hass:

Thanks @LarsNorgaard

I’ve installed Netadata into my Proxmox host and connected to HA via the example in the component page.

  - platform: netdata
    resources:
      load:
        data_group: system.load
        element: load15
      cpu:
        data_group: system.cpu
        element: system

Where can I find more data_group and elements to show in HA?

I, probably, understand that the data_group match what I see here in the Netdata dashboard

55

what about elements?

For example, I don’t see load15 here

Thanks

Where are you getting those information?

On which hardware are you on?

Thanks

I got the ideas from this HA forumand the system monitoring related setup came from this topic.
I use an Intel NUC 8GB RAM 120GB SSD and Ubuntu 18.04 with docker for the Hassio.

Almost my situation, I just have Proxmox as virtualizer.

Can you share how do you get all these info?
I’m interested in the temperature and wifi graph.

Thanks

What would you like to see, the card configuration or the sensor config?

  - platform: command_line
    name: CPU Temp
    command: "cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/temp"
    unit_of_measurement: "°C"
    value_template: '{{ value | multiply(0.001) | round(0) }}'

  - platform: systemmonitor
    resources:
      - type: disk_use_percent
        arg: /home
      - type: memory_free 
      - type: memory_use 
      - type: network_in
        arg: eno1
      - type: network_out
        arg: eno1
      - type: processor_use
      - type: last_boot
      - type: ipv6_address
        arg: eno1      
      - type: ipv4_address
        arg: eno1

Would love to see your config for the graphs which show multiple entries (eg. downloads and uploads in one graph). Really like the way you have laid it out!

Here’s an example with 2 graphs

  - accuracy: 5
    align_icon: left
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.pi_hole_ads_blocked_today
        name: Ads blocked
        show_state: true
        unit: ads
      - entity: sensor.pi_hole_dns_queries_today
        name: DNS queries
        show_state: true
        unit: queries
    hours_to_show: 168
    icon: 'mdi:pi-hole'
    line_color: '#0073D4'
    name: Pi-hole today
    points_per_hour: 0.05
    show:
      points: false
    type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'

I updated it based on some others here

Thanks a lot for that it really helps. How were you able to get the size of you database file?

This is my code:

  - platform: sql
    db_url: mysql://username:password-mariadb/homeassistant?charset=utf8
    queries:
      - name: HASS DB size
        query: 'SELECT table_schema "database", Round(Sum(data_length + index_length) / 1048576, 2) "value" FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema="homeassistant" GROUP BY table_schema;'
        column: 'value'
        unit_of_measurement: MB

Thanks, I was missing how to gather temp and network.

I created a cron job in my Proxmox instance to exec this tiny Python script that runs every 30 secs

cron job

* * * * * /root/systems_data.py
* * * * * (sleep 30 ; /root/systems_data.py )

systems_data.py

temp= "$(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/temp)"
cpuload= "$(grep 'cpu ' /proc/stat | awk '{usage=($2+$4)*100/($2+$4+$5)} END {print usage}')"
memavail= "$(cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable | awk '{print $2}')"

mosquitto_pub -h 192.xxx.xxx.xxx -u user -P password -t topic/temp -m $temp
mosquitto_pub -h 192.xxx.xxx.xxx -u  user -P password -t topic/cpuload -m $cpuload
mosquitto_pub -h 192.xxx.xxx.xxx -u  user -P password -t topic/memavail -m $memavail

In this way I can get those three values that I can show in my dashboard.

Hope it can help someone!

How did you install netdata on the host? I used the easy bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh)
But end up with some errors:

All required packages are already installed. Now proceed to the next step.

 OK  /bin/bash /tmp/netdata-kickstart-ws3vT4/install-required-packages.sh netdata 

$'[\E[2m/tmp/netdata-kickstart-ws3vT4\E(B\E[0m]# \E[1m\E[33m' curl -sSL --connect-timeout 10 --retry 3 https://storage.googleapis.com/netdata-nightlies/sha256sums.txt $'\E(B\E[0m\\n' curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.

Hi @krovachek ! I really like your UI, especially the spacing between charts in your stack. Would you mind sharing your laovelace config ?

Hi @Dayve67

The installation I did was as explained here, the first option.

I have done it accessing SSH to the Proxmox server address, not the VM, and then executed the command without sudo.

That’s it!

But since the integration with HA is not so good, as far as I understood, I removed it.

My goal is to grab information and to show in HA using sensors, not to show just the Netdata Graph as is calling a http page.

That’s why I decided to go directly with a python script, as my previous message.

Here it is:

Thanks a lot ! Clever use of card modder :slight_smile: !

You are welcome and thanx! :slight_smile:
I forgot the setup the maximum values… :smiley:

I think what you have done with card modder is the missing piece of the puzzle for making transparency work (not look terrible) with some of my stacked custom cards. I’ll give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
