# MQTT bridge for the KDE System Monitor (ksysguard)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A short Python script for monitoring arbitrary MQTT topics via [ksysguard](https://userbase.kde.org/KSysGuard).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Save the script somewhere sensible in your computer and give it executable permissions. Root is not required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Configure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Take a look the [example configuration file](./example-config.yaml) and use it as the basis for your own configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open ksysguard and go to `File` → `Monitor Remote Machine…`. In the dialog box, enter an arbitrary name under “Host”, select “custom command” and in the command edit box enter the full path to the script in your computer, followed by `-c` (or `--config`) and the full path to your configuration file. For instance:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
/home/navlost/bin/ksysguard-sensor-mqtt.py -c /home/navlost/.config/ksysguard-sensor-mqtt.yaml
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ensure that the sensor browser on the right-hand side of the ksysguard client is visible, if not, slide it into view by clicking near (but not on) the right-hand edge of the window and dragging left. You should now see your configured sensors and be able to drag them into a tab.
