Sensor Panels
Sensor Modes
Different sensor modes are supported:
Sensor Data Sources
The sensor value reading is separated from the asterctl tool.
Sensor values are provided in separate text files and are automatically read when the file changes.
Only the file data source is supported at the moment, other sources like pipes, sockets etc. might be supported later.
Sensor Data Providers
- Proof of concept Linux shell scripts
- aster-sysinfo tool
Sensor Identifier Mapping
The original AOOSTAR-X software uses very weird label identifiers (actually sometimes even a composite key depending on the data source), which are likely based on an internal JSON structure.
To easily use original custom sensor panels with various sensor data sources, a sensor identifier mapping file can be used.
The mapping file is a simple text file with one identifier mapping per line:
- Key = label identifier used in panel definition
- Value = label identifier used in sensor providers
Example:
cpu_temperature: temperature_cpu
This maps the temperature_cpu sensor from the aster-sysinfo tool to the cpu_temperature sensor used in the
AOOSTAR-X panel definitions.
Usage example:
asterctl --config monitor.json --sensor-mapping sensor-mapping/sysinfo-to-aoostar.cfg
