NAME
psensor-server - Temperature and system monitoring Web server
SYNOPSIS
psensor-server [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
psensor-server is an HTTP server for monitoring hardware sensors remotely.
It provides a JSON Web service which can be used by psensor(1) to monitor remotely the hardware sensors of a computer.
It can provide information about:
* the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using lm-sensors).
* the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp).
* the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors).
It is also possible to connect to the psensor-server with a browser, a simple Web page is displaying the sensors information and the CPU
usage.
The URL http://hostname:3131/api/1.0/sensors/[id] returns a JSON object containing all information about a sensor. [id] is the uniq identi-
fier of the sensor.
Here is an example of the JSON object of type 'sensor':
{ "id": "lmsensor acpitz-virtual-0 temp1",
"name": "temp1",
"type": 257,
"min": 47.800000,
"max": 60.800000,
"measures": [ { "value": 47.800000, "time": 1311374873 },
{ "value": 49.800000, "time": 1311374878 },
{ "value": 49.800000, "time": 1311374883 } ],
"last_measure": { "value": 49.800000, "time": 1311374883 } }
Fields of the type 'sensor':
* id: the uniq identifier of the sensor.
* name: a humean readable name of the sensor (might not be uniq).
* type: the type of sensor. Look at src/lib/psensor.h for the
different types.
* min: the minimal value of the sensor.
* max: the maximal value of the sensor.
* measures: all measures of the sensor.
* last_measure: the last value of the sensor.
* time: the time of a measure as the number of seconds since
1970/01/01.
The URL http://hostname:3131/api/1.0/sensors returns a JSON array containing all JSON objects of type 'sensor'.
If run in debug mode, psensor-server can be stopped by sending an HTTP request with the URL 'http://hostname:port/api/1.0/server/stop'.

WARNING
psensor-server does not provide any way to restrict the connection to the HTTP server, worst, no effort has been made against malicious
HTTP attacks. You should make the psensor-server port available only to a network or computer you trust by using the usual network secu-
rity tools of the system (for example, iptables(8) ).
