alertR VS psutil

I see that the alertr.de website is down, and it appears that the server responds with error 10 when I try to test send a message. Is it a problem on the server side or do I have to do some more debugging on my side?

Set up a the ManagerClientDatabase (an tutorial exists here: https://github.com/sqall01/alertR/wiki/Tutorial-ManagerClientDatabase)

Around Christmas I published a handful of scripts I use internally to monitor my Linux hosts for security breaches (https://github.com/sqall01/LSMS). Somehow, it got a lot of attention which I did not expected. Since these scripts can be used with AlertR, I decided to additionally write a tutorial how you can set up both projects to work with each other. Here is the link: https://github.com/sqall01/alertR/wiki/Tutorial-SensorClientFIFO-LinuxSecurityMonitoring

The awesome news: AlertR now supports the new data type: GPS. With GPS a position and the time it was recorded is stored. But this alone is not awesome but just lame. The awesome thing is that a new sensor client was added: Sensor Client GPS. This sensor fetches periodically GPS data from a provider and allows you to use geofencing to monitor if the monitored GPS device is outside or inside a specific area. Naturally, this new client comes with its own Tutorial. Personally, I use it to monitor if my car is parked at home and as car alarm system with the help of an old Android mobile phone.

For a long time, there were templates for Alert and Manager clients. Meaning, a developer has an easy way to start writing native Alert and Manager clients for AlertR. However, a template for Sensor clients was missing. With the restructuring of how the sensor processing works internally in the clients earlier this year, I have now completed a template for Sensor clients (https://github.com/sqall01/alertR/tree/master/sensorClientTemplate). This template gives every developer an easy start in implementing a native sensor client for AlertR without having to start from an already finished Sensor client and starting to rewrite it for fitting the needs.

One or two weeks ago I had the idea to use a calendar to schedule actions that are then executed by AlertR. More specifically, in my case, I wanted the schedule to change the temperature of my thermostats as well as switching some appliances on and off depending on the time and day. Fortunately, AlertR already had everything it needed to do this. So, here is now a tutorial on how you can do this.

No it does not use MQTT. It uses a custom json based protocol. The exact layout is documented here: https://github.com/sqall01/alertR/wiki/Protocol

fyi: python + https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil is pretty portable

FYI, you probably already know this, but just in case: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/pull/2070

No, not yet, though I'd love to have that in, too. The problem here is fetching the corresponding data since there's no standard interface this yet. (At least none that I know of.) Follow this bug to get updated.

here is a good module to start with: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil

This post thing (idk what it is called) was hard for me to understand, but it looked like they were saying that it may have been an issue with python and wine. They suggested using wine-develop (which i assume is "development" because "apt install wine-develop" cant find it, but it can find development). So I did:

It uses the psutil library (or can use tracemalloc or posix) to access process information in a cross platform way, so it works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
