Small web-based monitoring dashboard for windows in C and MVC A small web-based monitoring dashboard for your Windows pc/server writen in C# and MVC + Chart.js.
The dashboard is built using only C# libraries available in the main C# distribution, trying to create a small list of dependencies without the need of installing many packages or libraries.
Current dependencies:
- Net Framework 4
- C# MVC
- AttributeRouting
- SQLite
Localization:
- (1) "App_Data\Localization\en-EN.txt" copy this file and translate the language you want to use.
- (2) "App_Data\Setting.ini" LANGUAGE line in the file that you want to use the written language. Example: LANGUAGE=en-EN or LANGUAGE=tr-TR
- (3) Started to use in their own language
Login info
user: admin
pass: admin123
NetDash Settings
The only settings currently available which you can modify are the refresh rates for the different data tables. There are 3 different refresh settings under netdash/App_data/Setting.ini and values are in miliseconds:
- TIME_JS_REFRESH = 30000 #30 seconds
- TIME_JS_REFRESH_LONG = 120000 #120 seconds
- TIME_JS_REFRESH_NET = 2000 #2 seconds
You can modify any of the values to whatever you would like the new refresh rate to be. Restart the webserver after each update to the Setting.ini file.
The tables and the refresh settings are as follows:
- Memory Usage - TIME_JS_REFRESH
- Load Average - TIME_JS_REFRESH
- CPU Usage - TIME_JS_REFRESH
- Traffic Usage - TIME_JS_REFRESH_NET
- Disk Reads/Writes - TIME_JS_REFRESH_NET
- Uptime - TIME_JS_REFRESH_LONG
- Disk Usage - TIME_JS_REFRESH_LONG
- Online Users - TIME_JS_REFRESH_LONG
- Processes - TIME_JS_REFRESH_LONG
- Netstat - TIME_JS_REFRESH_LONG
NetDash supports collecting system metrics from a remote Windows machine.
Configure the remote connection in App_Data/Setting.ini.
; Remote computer hostname or IP address
SERVERNAME=192.168.1.100
; Windows domain name or WORKGROUP
REMOTE_DOMAIN=WORKGROUP
; Windows account on the remote machine
REMOTE_USERNAME=Administrator
; Password of the Windows account
REMOTE_PASSWORD=YourWindowsPassword| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| SERVERNAME | Hostname or IP address of the Windows machine to monitor. Use . to monitor the local machine. |
| REMOTE_DOMAIN | Windows Domain name or WORKGROUP if the machine is not joined to a domain. |
| REMOTE_USERNAME | Windows user account on the target machine. |
| REMOTE_PASSWORD | Password of the Windows user account. |
Note
REMOTE_USERNAMEandREMOTE_PASSWORDare Windows credentials of the target machine, not the NetDash dashboard login (admin/admin123).
Before enabling remote monitoring, ensure that:
- The remote Windows machine is reachable over the network.
- WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is enabled.
- Windows Firewall allows WMI/RPC traffic.
- The supplied Windows account has permission to access Performance Counters and WMI on the remote machine.
Once configured correctly, NetDash can retrieve metrics such as CPU, Memory, Disk Usage, Network Traffic, Processes, and other system information from the remote computer.
- /info/uptime/ - Uptime
- /info/platform/hostname/ - Hostname
- /info/platform/osname/ - OS Name
- /info/platform/kernel/ - Kernel
- /info/getcpus/cpucount/ - Number of CPU cores
- /info/getcpus/cputype/ - Type/Name of CPU
- /info/memory/ - Memory Usage
- /info/cpuusage/ - CPU Usage in percentage(%), free and used
- /info/getdisk/ - Disk Usage
- /info/getusers/ - Online Users
- /info/getips/ - IP Addresses
- /info/gettraffic/ - Internet Traffic
- /info/getdiskio/ - Disk Reads/Writes
- /info/proc/ - Running Processes
- /info/loadaverage/ - Load Average
- /info/getnetstat/ - Netstat
To see the format of the JSON returned datasets or data you can access any of the URLs from your browser ex. http://domain.com/info/uptime/
