Fast Raspberry Pi Online Monitoring: PiCockpit v2.0 is now faster!
With PiCockpit, you can monitor your Raspberry Pis from any web browser. The Raspis can be in any network, as long as they have an internet connection – thanks to the magic of MQTT. And now PiCockpit is even faster!
PiCockpit has so much to offer, such as…
A web overview of your Raspberry Pis
As you can see in the screenshot, you are able to see important statistics, as
- CPU Load
- RAM usage
- SoC temperature
- hard disk usage
- Public & Private IPs
- Raspberry Pi model
- Raspi serial number
at a glance.
Accelerated access thanks to gzip compression
Just a couple of minutes ago, I have applied a modification to the web server configuration: now all text files (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) which PiCockpit needs to run in your web browser are being served using GZIP compression!
This is good news for two reasons:
- Your network bandwidth will be used more efficiently – this is especially important on mobile networks!
- PiCockpit will start up faster and connect faster than before 🙂
