HBmonitor is a "web dashboard" for HBlink by N0MJS.
This is version of HBMonitor V2 by SP2ONG 2019-2021
The main difference between HBMonitor v1 and v2 is the layout, i.e. the main page shows condensed information and on the subpages, you can see the individual content that was shown on v1
I recommend not running HBmonitor on the same computer as HBlink3
HBmonitor tested on Debian v9 and v10
This version of HBMonv2 requires a web server like apache2, lighttpd and php support running on the server.
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/sp2ong/HBMonv2.git
cd HBMonv2
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
cp config-SAMPLE.py config.py
edit config.py and change what you necessary
You need to copy the contents of the /opt/HBMonv2/html directory to
the web server directory. Suppose your web server is available
as http://dmrserver.org, copy the file to for example /var/www/html
If you copy files to /var/www/html/hbmon, HBMonitor will be
accessible from http://dmrserver.org/hbmon
You can copy to /var/www/hbmon and start HBMonitor access by configuring
virtual the web server for subdomains e.g. hbmon.dmrserver.org
the access will then be http://hbmon.dmrserver.org
In the html/include/ directory there is a config.php file in which you
set the color theme and name for your Dashboard.
In the html/include/config.php you can defined height of Server Activity
window: 45px; 1 row, 60px 2 rows, 80px 3 rows:
define("HEIGHT_ACTIVITY","45px");
In the html directory there is a buttons.html file that you can tune to menu keys
The logo image you can replace with file image in html directory img/logo.png
cp utils/lastheard /etc/cron.daily/
chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/lastheard
cp utils/hbmon.service /lib/systemd/system/
systemctl enable hbmon
systemctl start hbmon
systemctl status hbmon
forward TCP port 9000 and web server port in firewall
Please setup your SYSTEM INFO subpage with the following instruction:
https://github.com/sp2ong/HBMonv2/tree/main/sysinfo
Please remember the table lastheard displays only station transmissions
that are longer than 2 sec.
use >=0 instead of >2 if you want to record all activities in line:
if int(float(p[9])) > 2:
If you want to have more than the last 15 entries in the Lastheard table
change in the monitor.py file line from:
# maximum number of lists in lastheard on the main page
if n == 15:
to for example:
if n == 25:
I recommend that you do not use the BRIDGE_INC = True option to display bridge information
(if you have multiple bridges displaying this information will increase the CPU load,
try to use BRIDGES_INC = False in config.py)
***************************************************************************************
The HBMonv2 version without use external web server like apache2 etc is still available:

edit config.py and change what you necessary
cp utils/hbmon.service /lib/systemd/system/
