Nitr

A cross-platform remote monitoring tool written in Golang for system information gathering, making it available through a JSON API.

The main purpose of this project is to provide highly available data of CPU, RAM, Disks, Network, Processes and so on, to make use of them in applications such as web administration panels or mobile apps.

🌎 Web Panel

Go to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser

Access with default password: 123456

QR Code

The QR Code contains the exact same information displayed in the Host Info Panel formatted as JSON.

⛏️ Usage

Requesting system info with HTTP Get Method through the API endpoints passing the "x-api-key" header with your api key as value and you will get success response.

Example:

• Requesting CPU Information.

With Curl.

curl -X Get 'http://localhost:8000/api/v1/cpu' -H 'x-api-key:yourapikeyhere'

With Powershell.

 Invoke-RestMethod -Uri http://localhost:8000/api/v1/cpu -H @{"x-api-key"="yourapikeyhere"}
