Domoticz uptime on the dashboard. Topic is solved

[EddyG]

It would be nice to have a Domoticz "uptime" on the dashboard.
If there is a problem with Domoticz I use monit to restart Domoticz.
By the "uptime" I could figure out if that happened recently and have to investigate why the restart took place.

[SweetPants]

Uptime will only show you how long ago domoticz was restarted for the last time. What if this happend more times?
You can get more information from the monit log file /var/log/monit.log

[EddyG]

I use the HTML interface daily and Domoticz is running fine for days or even weeks.
I would like to see on the interface if there was a restart.
If I see a recent restart then I could investigate monit.log and others for the reason of the restart.
Now I have to check monit.log every once in a while (or daily) and find out there there where a lot of restarts 5 days ago.

Or have monit send you a message with Pushover? There's a very easy script for that (just google monit and pushover).

Works like a charm for me

hi, add a new text dummy and this script

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#uptime.sh

pid=`ps -ef |grep 'domoticz -daemon' |grep -v grep |awk '{print $2}'`
updz=`ps -p $pid -o %t | tail -1 | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]*$//' | awk 'sub( "...$", "" )'`

itime=`uptime | awk '{print $1}' | awk 'sub( "...$", "" )'`

min=$(uptime | grep -ci min)
day=$(uptime | grep -ci day)
if  [ $min -eq 1 ] ; then
uptime=`uptime | awk '{print $3}'`
uptime2=`uptime | awk '{print $4}'`
elif [ $day -eq 1 ] ; then
uptime=`uptime | awk '{print $3}'`
uptime3=`uptime | awk '{print $5}'`
else
uptime=`uptime | awk '{print $3}'`
fi

curl "http://IPADRESS:PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=TEXTIDX&nvalue=0&svalue="$itime"%2c%20up%20"$uptime"%20"$uptime2"-"$uptime3"%20Dz%20"$updz""

and chmod +x uptime.sh

I use telegram, and thats works perfectly. I know.
BUT. recently Domoticz was restarted frequently so I got a lot of alerts.
So thats why I suggest an "uptime" on the dashbord.

In my opinion it does not hurt anybody to add such a feature.

EDIT:
The above script is a good solution too (thanks), but takes up the place of a button on the dashboard.

[pluggin]

this is my script for uptime

#!/bin/bash
pid=`ps -ef |grep "domoticz -daemon -www"|grep -v grep |awk '{print $2}'`
updz=`ps -p $pid -o %t | tail -1 | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]*$//'`
val=$(echo ${updz/-/day(s)%20})
curl -s "http://IP:PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=100&nvalue=3&svalue=$val" > /dev/null

I use a TEXT sensor for display the value

[EddyG]

Hi,
Tnx, for the sensor script.
Found it in Setup -> About.
Thats good for me too.
Was it always there?

[gizmocuz]

No, it was added a few days ago (did not know about this thread... so it was a coincidence

[EddyG]

Tnx.

[stlaha2007]

The Setup/About is strange.
Running domotics for more dan 16000 days.. Started begin of July
Guess it reads a wrong value...

The script of Pluggin seems correctly reading current pid and runtime of it. As Domoticz will change pid when a restart accurred.

Found it and checked it... However this is what About says:

 About Domoticz

Version: 2.3530
Build Hash: 9eef872
Compile Date: 2015-11-01 11:41:18

Uptime: 16755 Dagen, 19 Uren, 39 Minuten, 55 Seconden 

Last reboot was Nov 7, 2015.
Seems that the format isn't correct or using some other timecode/timesource.

According to uptime:
Time 20:48:40 up 9 days 7:29, 3 users...
9 days 7 hours 29 minutes comes close to restart around 14.00h.

Is there a way to use this uptime value into a LUA script variable?

I have a couple of switches that send me a picture using Telegram. I alway get a lot of messages when the system is rebooted or when I update (restart) Domoticz. I would like to be able to change my LUA scripts so it doesn't do anything if the uptime is less than a minute.

[Kjakan]

I want to know about this to.

UptimeInMinutes or similar would be a nice feature.

[proohu01]

A standard method would be a very nice addition indeed? Any chance of getting this into Domoticz as a feature? UptimeInMinutes sound good to me.

In the meantime, I cooked up some lua code that works for me now...

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

	n = os.tmpname ()
	os.execute ("var=$(ps -eo pid,args |grep 'domoticz -daemon' | grep -v grep |awk '{print $1}') && echo $(($(cut -d '.' -f1 /proc/uptime) - $(($(cut -d ' ' -f22 /proc/$var/stat)/100)))) > " .. n)
	for line in io.lines (n) do
		UptimeInSeconds = line
	end
	os.remove (n)

	UptimeInSeconds = tonumber(UptimeInSeconds);
	-- print('Domoticz has been running for '.. UptimeInSeconds .. ' seconds')
	if UptimeInSeconds < 90 then
	    print('Domoticz uptime is less than 90 seconds')
	    commandArray['SendNotification']='Domoticz uptime is less than 90 seconds'
    end

return commandArray

Hello,

Why not adding a counter device for uptime in motherboard sensors?
It would be quite simple, can be used with blocky/scripts, and would have an history .
