System Stats & Management¶

Launch the DietPi-CloudShell control panel:

dietpi-cloudshell

DietPi-CloudShell offers scenes with predefined display outputs resp. layouts.
Scenes are configured in the Scenes dialog within dietpi-cloudshell.

This feature will allow you to automatically power down the screen and disable DietPi-CloudShell processing during a specific time.
Please note this feature requires DietPi-CloudShell to be launched with dietpi-autostart, or run dietpi-cloudshell from the main screen (tty1).
If you make changes to DietPi-CloudShell over SSH, once saved, please reboot the system to ensure this feature becomes activated.

Power saving: Auto screen off

This is available for all Odroid versions. DietPi will automatically configure your system for the device.
Simply run dietpi-config, select Display Options, then select odroid-lcd35.
After a reboot, your Odroid 3.5 LCD will become active.

The display feature of DietPi-CloudShell works generally with any LCD display or monitor with a resolution of at least 320x240 pixels.

The web interface of Linux Dash can be accessed via:

• URL = http://<your.IP>/linuxdash/app

The web interface of phpSysInfo can be accessed via:

• URL = http://<your.IP>/phpsysinfo

This is done via the file phpsysinfo.ini which is located in the phpSysInfo main directory (typical /var/www/phpsysinfo). An example file phpsysinfo.ini.new is present and gives inline information about all configuration options. Just walk through this file and discover all these bells an whistles.

The main features of RPi-Monitor are:

• Collecting, storing and presenting metrics
• It’s flexibly configurable
• It’s user extendable
• Metrics sharing can be done via JSON file or via SNMP
• Alert option

The web interface is accessible via port 8888:

• URL = http://<your.IP>:8888

The configuration is described there: https://xavierberger.github.io/RPi-Monitor-docs/20_index.html

The web interface is accessible via port 19999:

• URL = http://<your.IP>:19999

Depending on your system, by default Netdata might be not accessible from remote browsers. If this is the case, open the configuration file
/etc/netdata/netdata.conf
and change the line
bind socket to IP = 127.0.0.1
to match either the local network IP or static public IP of your DietPi server depending on your needs. Alternatively comment it e.g. if your server does not have a static public IP but you require remote access. But note that an unprotected publicly accessible Netdata web interface is a potential security risk. Head over to the “Security hardening” tab to learn more about how to restrict access to Netdata.

Once saved, you will need to restart the service to implement the changes by entering the below into the terminal:

systemctl restart netdata

Note that having Netdata accessible to anyone gives potential attackers a bunch of useful information where to start hacking.
To learn about how to limit access to Netdata, please refer to their documentation regarding the configuration of access lists.

The web interface is accessible via port 10000:

• URL = https://<your.IP>:10000
• Username = root
• Password = <your software password> (default: dietpi)

The Webmin system logging panel still depends on a classical file logger, like Rsyslog. However DietPi will not impose this logging overhead on systems by default. If you need to see system logs via the Webmin online panel, you can either configure a custom syslog daemon or install Rsyslog manually:

apt install rsyslog

DietPi comes with systemd and the related journald system logger, which can be accessed via the command journalctl.
