I'm completely new to scripting, but willing to learn!
I want to know how should I approach the following:
- read out values from monit xml or json output so I can see status of monit monitored applications/processes.
- monit runs on a remoet/sperate Rpi n the same network
- domoticz runs on my Synology NAS, with dashticz to get some nice overviews.
I mainly want to have a visual of the status of the remote Rpi.
Maybe someone allready build a plugin like this, I searched for that but could not find it, the one thing found was a discontinued plugin (PiMonitor), anda plugin which I cannot get to work (Pi RemoteMonitor) as I cannot get 'python3-lxml' working on my NAS.
Or someone can point me to some examples doing the same for other json/xml information collecting.
Is python the correct language to get this working, or should I better foccus on a lua script or dventz?
It looks like the json output
Example of output in json and xml below:
