\"PiDoctor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To monitor your Raspberry Pi system’s health, you can use PiCockpit’s app PiDoctor. PiDoctor will also allow you to learn many details about your Raspberry Pi, including where it was manufactured, how much RAM it has, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use PiDoctor to Diagnose your Raspberry Pi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Health Check Modules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Each module has a button at the bottom, which allows you to run just the tests of this module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There also is an “auto reload” toggle switch in the upper corner, which allows you to have the test run automatically each 10 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is useful for continuous monitoring of changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
