RPi-Monitor: Use labels to show servers status

RPi-Monitor version 2.7 introduces a new javascript function named Label.



The goal of this function is to add a colored text reflecting the status of a service.

This post is explaining how this new feature can be used.

Note: In version 2.10, a closing parenthesis ' ) ' is missing in the last line of  service.conf .
If you want to use this file as a source of your customisation, remember to add to fix this issue. It is already fixed in github repositories (and future releases).

All the details about the latest version of Rpi-Monitor are in RPi-Monitor overview


The version 2.6 of RPi-Monitor has been released.

If you don't know yet what RPI-Monitor do, have a look to RPi-Monitor Overview.


What's new in this version?
This version is coming with few improvement and bug fixes.

Here is the changelog of version 2.6:
  • Add version.json, menu.json and friends.json generation to fix issue #25
  • Check is file is executable (instead of existing) to define if it should be executed
    Warning: a new perl dependency has been added: File::Which
  • Generate empty.rrd at each request to fix issue #23
  • Generate empty.rrd at each start workaround for issue #23 when using an external web server
    Note: empty.rrd need to be generated each time a static data need to be drawn into a graph. The embedded server does that. With external server, it is not possible. Restarting RPI-Monitor periodically will improve the accuracy but not fix the bug.
  • Improve shellinabox management <IP>/shellinabox forwards to https://<IP>:4200
  • Add RPi-Monitor Interactive Configuration Helper
