Linux Control Adapter for ioBroker

paypal

Controlling Linux devices and get information about your system

This adapter uses Sentry libraries to automatically report exceptions and code errors to the developers. For more details and for information how to disable the error reporting see Sentry-Plugin Documentation! Sentry reporting is used starting with js-controller 3.0.

Configuration

General

General

setting description
enabled enabled or disable updating of the host
datapoint id id under which all datapoints are to be stored
IP IP address of your linux device
Port SSH Port of your linux device
polling interval polling interval in minutes.
To deatcivate the polling you can use '0' or leave it blank
user ssh user for login
password / passpharse ssh password for login or passpharse if you use a rsa key
use Sudo using sudo
rsa key path and filename of your rsa key. Access rights must be available!
timeout connection timeout

Datapoints

Datapoints

The adapter creates predefined datapoints with information and the possibility to control the Linux device. These can be selected here. In addition, for each individual host, individual data points or entire channels can be placed on the blacklist by drag & drop so that they are not created for the host.

Note if you would like to add the whole channel to the blacklist, you must drag & drop the channel node to the blacklist. Only then the whole channel will be ignored - see sreenshot below:

Datapoints

Due to the many different Linux distributions this feature is only tested with Debian 10, Ubuntu 18 / 20 LTS!

Services

Services

If the retrieval of services under datapoints is activated, you can define here per host for which services only information should be retrieved.

Due to the many different Linux distributions this feature is only tested with Debian 10, Ubuntu 18 / 20 LTS!

Folders

Folders

Here you can retrieve information about the size of folders, count of the files included in these folders and the timestamp of the last change in this folder.

Due to the many different Linux distributions this feature is only tested with Debian 10, Ubuntu 18 / 20 LTS!

setting description
enabled enabled or disable updating of the folder
Host Host which should be used
datapoint id id under which all datapoints are to be stored
Path path of the folder
filename pattern pattern for files names which should be regonized.
Unit Unit for size
decimal places decimal places
count of files create datapoint for count of files
last change create datapoint for timestamp of the last change in this folder

My Commands

Custom Commands

Here, very individual commands can be defined and then written to your own defined data points. It is important that the retrieved data is transmitted in the correct type! The type must then be configured accordingly.

setting description
enabled enabled or disable updating of the command
Host Host which should be used
datapoint id id under which datapoints are to be stored
polling interval diffrent polling interval in seconds for the command only. For deactivating use 0 or leave the field blank, then the polling interval from the host is used
description description / name of the datapoint
command command that should be used

If you use a user that needs sudo then you have to add sudo -S to your own command!
type type of the datapoint
unit unit of the datapoint
