html - HTML status page

Warning

Do not commit your credentials to a public repo!

Writes an HTML status page. Can optionally display a map.

The supplied template includes JavaScript to notify you if the page either doesn’t auto-refresh, or if SimpleMonitor has stopped updating it. This requires your machine running SimpleMonitor and the machine you are browsing from to agree on what the time is (timezone doesn’t matter)! The template is written using Jinja2.

You can use the upload_command setting to specify a command to push the generated files to another location (e.g. a web server, an S3 bucket etc). I’d suggest putting the commands in a script and just specifying that script as the value for this setting.

filename

Type: string
Required: true

the html file to output. Will be stored in the folder

folder

Type: string
Required: false
Default: html

the folder to write the output file(s) to. Must exist.

copy_resources

Type: boolean
Required: false
Default: true

if true, copy supporting files (CSS, images, etc) to the folder

source_folder

Type: string
Required: false

the path to find the template and supporting files in. Defaults to those contained in the package. (In the package source, they are in simplemonitor/html/.)

upload_command

Type: string
Required: false

if set, a command to execute each time the output is updated to e.g. upload the files to an external webserver

map

Type: boolean
Required: false

set to true to enable the map display instead of the table. You must set the gps value on your Monitors for them to show up!

map_start

Type: comma-separated list of float
Required: false

three comma-separated values: the latitude the map display should start at, the longitude, and the zoom level. A good starting value for the zoom is probably between 10 and 15.

map_token

Type: string
Required: yes, if using the map

an API token for mapbox.com in order to make the map work
