Meteor Monitor Widget

Widgets screenshot

Tiny draggable little widget with chart, made for the purpose of quick overview of some key app metrics. This was made for a concrete use case of monitoring transfer rate but I think it might be easily used for other metrics like online users count etc.

Installation

meteor add omega:monitor-widget

Usage

First you have to provide a reactive single value data source. Here is dummy example with Session:

Meteor.startup(() => {
    Session.set('value1', 1);
    Session.set('value2', 1);
    Meteor.setInterval(() => {
        Session.set('value1', Math.floor((Math.random() * 100) + 1));
        Session.set('value2', Math.floor((Math.random() * 100) + 1));
    }, 1000);
});

Then you need to wrap those reactive values in a helpers like this:

Template.body.testDataSource = () => {
  return Session.get('value1');
};
Template.body.testDataSource2 = () => {
    return Session.get('value2');
};

Important! The chart is updated only when the data sources are reactively changed. It does not auto refresh every 1s or so which is a behaviour you might have expected._

And finally in your template include the widget's template like this:

{{>monitorWidget units="kb/s" graphHistoryCount=60 firstChartName='Up' widgetName='Test' secondChartName='Down' minScale=1 firstDataSource=testDataSource secondDataSource=testDataSource2}}

You can also check how meteor-transfer-rate-monitor packages is using it.

API

Public properties you can pass when including the monitorWidget template:

  • class - wraps the widgets html in a div with a custom class name (see styling section below)
  • graphWidth - width of the chart in pixels (can not be lower than 120, default 120)
  • graphHistoryCount - the number of elements in the graph (can not be higher than the graphWidth, should be equal to graphWidth or be a divisor of it)
  • marginTop - sets the margin-top css property of the widget
  • units - units name in a string like for example "kb/s"
  • firstChartName & secondChartName - names of the data sets
  • widgetName - widget's title
  • minScale - the minimal highest value represented on the chart (defaults to 1)
  • firstDataSource & secondDataSource - helpers with reactive data should be passed here

Styling

Feel free to overwrite the default css styles. You can also make different themes if you want - use class property for that or just wrap the widget with div. If you just need to adjust the colors here is a quick css gist you can use:

.monitorWidgetBackgroundColor { background: #002; }
.monitorWidgetHeaderTextColor { color: #0ff; }
.monitorWidgetFirstDataSourceColor { background-color: #0f0; }
.monitorWidgetSecondDataSourceColor { background-color: #f08; }
.monitorWidgetFirstDataSourceHeaderColor { color: #0f0; }
.monitorWidgetSecondDataSourceHeaderColor { color: #f08; }
.monitorWidgetGraphBackgroundColor { background: #002; }
