Super Simple Monitoring

Monitor your servers with this super simple monitoring solution.

Caution: This code was hacked together as fast as possible. As little time as possible was spent on this to get it working. This is not how I would normally code.

Deploy this simple PHP server somewhere and call /api/ping with a paylod. View the collected data in the index file.

Run it locally

Execute the following command in the project directory to see the graphs.

php -S 127.0.0.1:8080

Payload format

    "temperatures": [35, 37, 35, 35], // CPU temperatures in C
    "cpu": [0.02, 0.01, 0, 0.03], // CPU cores usage in %
    "memory": 0.12, // memory usage in %
    "hostname": "monitored-server-host-name",
