You dont have to depend on Flightaware or any other site’s statistics. You can monitor your system locally by installing “rrdtools” and “collectd” on your Raspberry Pi. These tools will plot graphs of various performance parameters continuously, and these graphs can be viewed in your browser by typing in address bar:
/collectd
Note spelling of “collectd”. There is no e between t and d.
This is how to install these system monitoring tools on your RPi:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get install rrdtool && sudo apt-get install collectd
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ wget http://raspi.ayadex.com/volatile/web_install.sh
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo chmod +x web_install.sh
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo ./web_install.sh "dump-tools"
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cd dump-tools
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo ./install.sh "crontab"
when you will run the last line of code, it will show following error message
===== Starting crontab installation of dump-tools! =====
no crontab for root
===== Finished crontab installation! =====
Repeat the last command
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo ./install.sh "crontab"
It will be ok this time and you will see this:
===== Starting crontab installation of dump-tools! =====
===== Finished crontab installation! =====
When you go to your browser after above installation and type /collectd, you will see blank graphs. Wait 10 to 20 minutes for graphs to built-up. From here on the graphs will continue to update automatically at regular intervals.
