[Bash] Monitor servers remotely using Conky

A small script and config to monitor remotely your servers using conky

How it works

  • You need to set up SSH Keys to identify your machine without involving password
  • You need to change servers array in server_info.sh file lines 18 and 38
  • You need to change the default ssh port in server_info.sh file line 84 from 2122 to 22(default port for ssh)
  • Customize your conky config based on one of mine (conky_*)
  • Execute it with
$ conky -d -q -c your_conky_config
