ComputerStatus

This software is for anyone that needs to monitor their computer usage. It consists of client and server components, however, the server software is only necessary if you wish to remotely monitor your computer.

Running the client script

Example 1: Querying the GPU every 10 minutes.

python client/monitor.py -gpu --interval 600

Example 2: Querying the GPU every 10 minutes and reporting the results to the example server at https://homecomputerstatus.com.

python client/monitor.py -gpu --interval 600 --server https://homecomputerstatus.com

When you run the client script on your machine, it will generate a file with the name device_id.txt. This file will contain a unique identifier for your machine. After logging in to the server, copy and paste the identifier into the Claim Device edit box to locate the data from your machine.

Installing the server

git clone https://github.com/msimms/ComputerStatus.git
cd ComputerStatus
pip install -r server/requirements.txt

Running the server

Example 1: HTTP

python server/start_cherrypy.py

python server/start_flask.py

Example 2: HTTPS

python start_cherrypy.py --cert cert.pem --privkey key.pem --https

python server/start_flask.py

Note: Passing the --debug flag will prevent the server from daemonizing.
