I work with an ARM based embedded system with a Linux kernel and a fairly large filesystem image(~1GB). The kernel and filesystem are under my control, so I can add modules and re-build if necessary.
The system has Node.js and on top of this Node-Red for an IOT application. I want to leverage the simple server capability of Node-Red to serve a web page showing graphically the system performance statistics.
I am considering building collectd for the target system and using it to write performance data to the filesystem. Then, I will use Node-Red/Node.js to present this information as a web page. This approach seems straightforward enough to be doable.
My question is: is there an alternative, established way of implementing such a remote system performance viewer? Or can anyone suggest a lightweight performance monitor and a method of displaying the statistics graphically on a web page?
I started node-spm for that logging to Sematext Logsene and writing custom metrics to SPM. I collected also process and OS metrics. It's in an early stage and I will do in the next few weeks more on that.
