Python utility to get Raspberry Pi metrics. This is an experimental utility, use at your own risk :)

This is just a very simple Python script using a http server to provide some Raspberry Pi metrics via REST calls, like temperature, load average and more.

The server will make a single endpoint available on the default port 8088: http://YOUR_IP:8088/monitor.json that will return a JSON like this:

{
  "soc_temperature": 50.5,
  "uptime": 18551.34,
  "load_average": [0.0, 0.2, 0.1],
  "kernel_release": "5.4.51-v7+",
  "memory": {
    "total_memory": 441416,
    "free_memory": 90536,
    "available_memory": 279512
  }
}

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bunn/pi_monitor/master/install.sh | sudo bash

You can download the files manually and run it the way you like. If you don't want Pi Monitor to run as a service you can just run as python3 pi_monitor.py

If you're running it using the automatic installation you can change the username and default port in which Pi Monitor is running by changing the following settings on your pi-monitor.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 -u /usr/local/bin/pi-monitor.py 8088
User=pi

Before doing so, make sure to stop the service with sudo systemctl stop pi-monitor.service and then start it again after your changes with sudo systemctl start pi-monitor.service

If you're running it manually you can just change the default port by sending it as a parameter like: python3 pi_monitor.py 8181

This was tested on Raspberry Pi OS (32 bit), kernel 5.4.51-v7+
