Add Pi CPU temps to health check

[DanTheReefer]

For water tight enclosures that won’t have air exchange, looking to get a CPU temp readout to the health check

[ranjib]

you mean send alert when cpu temperature crosses certain threshold ?

[Simonv92]

I think that he means to have CPU temp as a Temperature sensor in reef-pi, maybe to control a fan or something else...

[DanTheReefer]

I think that’s the way to do it, pi temp readout as temp sensor

[TheRealFalseReality]

Is there a way to monitor the CPU Temp at all in Reef-Pi?

[ranjib]

Not right now .

But you can do this easily with nodeexporter (to get the metrics ) , Prometheus (to store ) and grafana (to vidsualize)

I'm not familiar with Prometheus but I have heard of it since using reef-pi. I will learn all that and see what I can do, thank you!

Glances seems to work as well!

[TheRealFalseReality]

Glances does take up a fair amount of resources, however. But I am also trying out this:

[Simonv92]

Glances seems to work as well!

How did you make it work with nodeexporter? I already have Prometheus and Grafana working..
Thank you!

[TheRealFalseReality]

I did not. It was too much for me and I already had experience with Glances. Just 1 program to capture and output everything on a web interface, seamlessly sent over to the Home Assistant Integration. I Installed glances on the RPi3 and my Windows11 PC and integrated into HA

[Simonv92]

Thank you, if you're only interested in CPU temp in HA you can use the Reef-Pi home assistant integration which already expose the CPU temp...

[TheRealFalseReality]

I thought it would, but mine does not send the data for CPU/RAM, which is what got me to look into glances. Here's my integration:

[Simonv92]

How did you configure Glances on Home Assistant? I have make it work on the Rpi but I can't do the same in Home Assistant...

[TheRealFalseReality]

with glanes running in web mode, glances -w, you can use the Glances integration and all I did was enter the reefpi's IP, keeping everything the same.

[Simonv92]

Thank you very much!
Do you have a guide to install Glances on the Rpi? I think I've done something wrong since it doesn't connect to HA..

[TheRealFalseReality]

Yes, I followed this guide:
https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/wiki/Start-Glances-through-Systemd

Try it by running the following command and see if you get the browser GUI to load.
glances -w

But you'd prolly want to start this at startup and headless, so create a glances.service file:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/glances.service

and add the following information:
[Unit]
Description=Glances
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/glances -w
Restart=on-abort
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then:
sudo systemctl enable glances.service
sudo systemctl start glances.service
sudo reboot

Find RPi IP:
hostname -I

This should work!
Then just add the RPi's IP to the glances integrating, just the IP, no HTTP or server
192.168.86.XXX

you can try the hostname itself but since I use static IPs, I prefer the IP address.

Should add, lemme know if not

NOTE: When installing Glances, I believe it updated Python. Before installing, I was playing with custom scripts using
python script.py
and it would be fine After, I would get errors. I had to begin using
python3 script,py
I reformatted my RPi twice thinking I did something wrong only to realize I need to use python3 rather than python.
