Software for monitoring
by ingvar54 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B475)
Hi
On my linuxmint server I have a number of text files that I'd like to display on a screen. These logfiles are read from a weather station, so with headlines like temperature, pressure, rel.humidity etc, I want to periodically update the values, let's say every 5 minute and show the last hour or so.
I should utilize the whole screen so the data have to be displayed in fixed rows and columns.
So I'm looking for non-commercial linux software to handle this. I have looked into Icinga, but this powerful software, seems like overkill for this task.
I'd appreciate any suggestion on possible linux software that I can look into.
Thanks!
