Rpi Monitor

These instructions will show you how to start and run RPi-Monitor on a Raspberry Pi.
This software allows you to monitor different devices and peripherals on a Raspberry Pi.

More information on RPi-Monitor is available online.

After completing this assignment you will be able to:

1. Start RPi-Monitor on a Raspberry Pi
2. Examine RPi-Monitor
3. Monitor a device using RPi-Monitor

You are expected to have a working knowledge of SBC hardware and software.
If you do not understand how to use an item, perform a Google Search, refer to the WSU Technology Knowledge Base,  ask a teaching assistant, or ask the instructor.

1. These steps are performed on the Raspberry Pi
2. Open a Terminal window and enter the following command to start the RPi-Monitor program if it is not already running:
   rpimonitord
   

   start RPi Monitor
   

3. The installation has already been performed on the Raspberry Pi.
   The information below details the installation process.
4. Open a Terminal window and enter the following commands to ensure your Raspberry Pi is up to date
   sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get full-upgrade
5. In the Terminal window enter the following commands to trust the RPi-Monitor repository:
   sudo apt-get install dirmngr
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2C0D3C0F
6. In the Terminal window enter the following command to add RPi-Monitor to your repository list:
   sudo wget http://goo.gl/vewCLL -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rpimonitor.list
7. In the Terminal window enter the following commands to install RPi-Monitor:
   sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rpimonitor
8. After installation, in the Terminal window enter the following command to update packages information:
   sudo /etc/init.d/rpimonitor update
9. Open the browser and go to: 127.0.0.1:8888 (if it is not already running)
   
10. If the installation was correct you will see a webpage similar to this:
    

    RPi Monitor
    

11. If the webpage does not appear, troubleshoot and resolve any issues.
    

1. These steps are performed on the Raspberry Pi.
2. Open the browser and go to: 127.0.0.1:8888 (if it is not already loaded)
   
3. Check the version section, you may need to execute the following command to update the RPiMonitor packages:
   sudo /etc/init.d/rpimonitor update
4. Examine the information in the different sections of RPi-Monitor.

Point the browser to 127.0.0.1:8888
The RPi-Monitor homepage file will appear.

1. On the Raspberry Pi, open the text editor, enter your name, date, course, assignment.
2. Take a screenshot with the text editor, and the RPi-Monitor displaying the Version, Uptime and CPU sections to document your work.
   Note: this can be done using the Snipping Tool if you are running VNC, or use the scrot command if you are connected to the Raspberry Pi with a keyboard and mouse.
3. On your laptop save the screenshot as "IOT06" in your ' ' folder.
   

Submit to the appropriate D2L Assignment folder a screenshot that documents your work.

Based on your experience in this exercise, consider the value of the RPi monitor for organizations, especially the Information Technology staff.
Think about what type of problems a Raspberry Pi equipped with RPi monitor scanner could solve, and whether it could be cost-effective.
Businesses are deploying IoT 'solutions'-how can RPi monitor equipped Raspberry Pis support or automate these efforts?
