Monitoring Dashboard

English | 简体中文

A simple monitoring dashboard based on Tkinter, designed specifically for windows_exporter. It supports running on low-power devices such as Raspberry Pi, enabling resource monitoring and visualization for Windows hosts.

Features

• Real-time fetching of metrics from windows_exporter
• Supports monitoring of CPU, memory, disk, network, GPU, and more
• Historical data tracking and visualization
• Fullscreen mode, suitable for large screen displays
• Flexible configuration via command-line arguments and YAML file
• Runs on ARM devices like Raspberry Pi, perfect for DIY monitoring screens

Configuration

All configuration options can be set in the config/config.yaml file:

url: "http://<windows_exporter_host>:9182/metrics"   # Prometheus windows_exporter address
fullscreen: false                                   # Fullscreen mode
title: "Monitoring Dashboard"                       # Window title
refresh_interval: 1.0                               # Refresh interval (seconds)
fetch_timeout: 0.5                                  # Fetch timeout (seconds)
history_length: 600                                 # History length (seconds)

You can also override some options via command-line arguments, for example:

python main.py --url http://your_exporter:9182/metrics --fullscreen

Quick Start

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Install dependencies (if you have a requirements.txt, run pip install -r requirements.txt).

3. Configure config/config.yaml, set the url to your windows_exporter address.

4. Run the main program:

   python main.py

Running on Raspberry Pi

On low-power devices like Raspberry Pi, it is recommended to use PyPy3 as the Python interpreter for better performance.

1. Install PyPy3 (refer to the PyPy official documentation).

2. Install dependencies with PyPy3:

   pypy3 -m ensurepip
   pypy3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Start the program with PyPy3:

   pypy3 main.py

Main Dependencies

• Python 3.12+ or PyPy3
• tkinter
• requests
• pyyaml
• prometheus_client

Project Structure

• main.py: Entry point, loads configuration and starts the main window
• app/: Core modules, including data collection, analysis, and visualization
• config/: Configuration files
