Not sure about switching out the SSH lib only because it's easier to just include it with the build such that people can install as view dependencies as possible. I'll look it over during lunch tomorrow and discuss further on github.
EDIT: Sorry it's late and I'm slowly crashing.
In response to your last paragraph, that's exactly where I'm trying to get. You drop the monitor on any box, and you can query anywhere to fill in a module. Or you just drop it local and leave it. I run an unRaid box, and a Windows box, and my OpenWRT router. I have tendrils reaching out to all of those to get my modules populated. I need to figure out a good way of doing remote shell access in Windows via PHP and then I think I can actually get the feature set to be 100% cross platform in that regard.
If you want to help develop this that's excellent, we should find a communication medium and actually get on the same page.
I switched out the included SSH lib because I was having issues getting it to connect. Shortly afterwards I narrowed down an issue with the new lib to the necessary changes to the sshd config file (for plaintext password auth). Perhaps my original issues were related to this config file change. I'll evaluate that.
I broke the SSH connection/command issuing code out into it's own function so we should be easily able to switch back to the static lib. I feel that it would be safe to assume the one-liner install is a non-issue for the *nix guys...but I'm unsure how it would get installed for the windows guys.
Do you have a gmail account for hangouts chat? I'll send you my details via PM.
I've edited the functions php. But i am not sure if i did it correctly. I am using MAMP as the Web Server. I don't know if i need to place anything from plexMonitor into here or not? I just need to know where to put what files.
here is what it spits out
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''; //path to config file, reco' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/PlexMonitor/assets/php/functions.php on line 5
It fizzled out, might pick it up in the future but at the moment I’ve got a different project I’m working on. Until I fully separate my Plex server from my desktop I don’t need something like this.
I hope development continues soon. Looked all over the Internet and still can’t find something that does what this does.
I need to be able to monitor CPU, RAM, HDD, and bandwidth utilization of my Plex server (Windows) from a remote computer. Google is helpless at the moment.
The Git rep appears to have been deleted for this fork - @vanstinator, any chance you could share where you got to with this so others can pick it up and keep it alive?
Hey @vanstinator - did you ever get this working on windows? I saw your post in the original and there hasn’t been much traffic, I saw you posted a windows friendly config file on your dropbox, but it’s not there anymore. LMK!
