Abstract
PyMetheus is a project that the author started in order to monitor Raspberry PI units at home after the author found out that one of the RPis experiences intermittent failure. Although Prometheus can be a better choice in monitoring, however some RPis suffer crashing after installing the Prometheus' exporters. Hence the author started to learn about the Prometheus' architecture and began mimicking a Python based server-client monitoring system that can be installed on RPi zero, together with Grafana dashboard to display the monitoring data. Apart from that the author also integrates email and sms/phone notification system using external mail API and QPython on Android when there is an alert triggered in the monitoring system. The author is also looking in implementating PyMetheus as alternative for IoT system monitoring. The author likes to take the opportunity to share his experience in crafting and implementing the monitoring system using embedded SOC system.
