Linux Control Adapter for ioBroker
Controlling Linux devices and get information about your system
This adapter uses Sentry libraries to automatically report exceptions and code errors to the developers. For more details and for information how to disable the error reporting see Sentry-Plugin Documentation! Sentry reporting is used starting with js-controller 3.0.
Configuration
General
| setting | description |
|---|---|
| enabled | enabled or disable updating of the host |
| datapoint id | id under which all datapoints are to be stored |
| IP | IP address of your linux device |
| Port | SSH Port of your linux device |
| polling interval | polling interval in minutes. To deatcivate the polling you can use '0' or leave it blank |
| user | ssh user for login |
| password / passpharse | ssh password for login or passpharse if you use a rsa key |
| use Sudo | using sudo |
| rsa key | path and filename of your rsa key. Access rights must be available! |
| timeout | connection timeout |
Datapoints
The adapter creates predefined datapoints with information and the possibility to control the Linux device. These can be selected here. In addition, for each individual host, individual data points or entire channels can be placed on the blacklist by drag & drop so that they are not created for the host.
Note if you would like to add the whole channel to the blacklist, you must drag & drop the channel node to the blacklist. Only then the whole channel will be ignored - see sreenshot below:
Due to the many different Linux distributions this feature is only tested with Debian 10, Ubuntu 18 / 20 LTS!
Services
If the retrieval of services under datapoints is activated, you can define here per host for which services only information should be retrieved.
