System API (sys-API) provide a GraphQL API to your computers hardware.

It publishes and monitors values from OSHI with the help of Spring. On Windows the information is supplemented with OpenHardwareMonitor with a bit of help from OhmJni4Net.

This is the server backend for the Android app Monitee.

Get it on Play Store

What can it do?

Query for:

  • CPU usage & info
  • Memory usage
  • List running processes
  • List all network interfaces
  • Show info from sensors and fans
  • Motherboard information
  • Manage docker containers
  • Manage systemd services
  • Manage windows services
  • Read logs from files, systemd journal and Windows events

Monitoring

Currently, you can monitor

  • CPU load
  • CPU temperature
  • Memory usage
  • Network up
  • Network upload/download rate
  • Drive space
  • Drive read/write rate
  • Process ID CPU or Memory
  • Docker container in running state
  • Connectivity
  • External IP changed

GraphQL

GraphQL is available through the /graphql endpoint. Checkout the schema. There's also a set of sample queries in the sample-queries directory

A web-UI for trying out the GraphQL-API is also available at <IP>:8080/graphiql. If you don't want to expose this functionality. It can be disabled via the configuration.

graphQLPlayGround:
  enabled: false

If the server is protected by Basic Auth, you need to configure GraphQL Playground to send the authorization header. Here's an example with the default credentials:

{
  "authorization": "Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA=="
}

Running

Referr to monitee.app/get-started for how to run it on your system.

Configuration

The application expects a user config file (configuration.yml) and a spring configuration file (application.properties) in the /config directory. See the sample files in the /config repository directory.

Self-signed certificates

By default, sys-API will generate a self-signed certificate to enable HTTPS. This is to lower the barrier for encrypted traffic between the client and the server. Please note that using properly signed certificates is better. Let's Encrypt is a free and good alternative. Refer wiki page on how to set it up.

For convenience, the certificates are persisted using a java keystore. If you wish to re-generate the certificates, delete the keystorewww.jks file. But note that this will require re-adding the server in Monitee.

Development

Setup

git clone [this repo] sys-api
./gradlew run

Package for distribution in a .zip:

./gradlew shadowDistZip

And the resulting files should be located in /server/target/
