Support for weewx cmon

The skin provides a pre-configured page to show data from the weewx-cmon extension.

I am using the fork available at https://github.com/bellrichm/weewx-cmon because it includes a fix for getting the CPU temperature on the Raspberry Pi.

For getting the correct units on the observations please add this to user/extensions.py (if you dont know where to find this file, see here: https://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Where_to_find_things, its in the User directory):

Availabe observations

Please see these links for a description for most of the observations:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-scale/5.1.0?topic=metrics-linux

On a Linux machine the following observations are available:

Memory

File /proc/meminfo is used to get the memory information (see https://www.thegeekdiary.com/understanding-proc-meminfo-file-analyzing-memory-utilization-in-linux/):

mem_total - Total memory in kB
mem_free - Free memory in kB
mem_used - Used memory in kB
swap_total - Total swap in kB
swap_free - Free swap in kB
swap_used - Used swap in kB

CPU

File /proc/stat is used to get the CPU information (see https://www.thegeekdiary.com/understanding-proc-stat-file-in-linux/ or https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk65143):

cpu_user - Time spent with normal processing in user mode
cpu_nice - Time spent with niced processes in user mode
cpu_system - Time spent with normal processing in kernel mode
cpu_idle - Time spent in idle task
cpu_iowait - Time waiting for I/O to complete
cpu_irq - Servicing interrupts
cpu_softirq - Servicing softirqs

Load and processes

File /proc/loadavg is used to get the load information (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11987495/what-do-the-numbers-in-proc-loadavg-mean-on-linux or https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2017-08-08/linux-load-averages.html):

load1 - Load average for the last minute
load5 - Load average for the last 5 minutes
load15 - Load average for the last 15 minutes
proc_active - Number of active processes
proc_total - Number of total processes

Example skin.conf configs

Adding the cmon observations globally:

[ObservationBindings]
    [[cpu_user]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = cpu_user
    [[cpu_system]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = cpu_system
    [[load1]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = load1
    [[load5]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = load5
    [[load15]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = load15
    [[mem_used]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = mem_used
    [[mem_free]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = mem_free
    [[proc_active]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = proc_active
    [[proc_total]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = proc_total
    [[net_eth0_rbytes]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding

    [[net_eth0_rpackets]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = net_eth0_rpackets
    [[net_eth0_tbytes]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = net_eth0_tbytes
    [[net_eth0_tpackets]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = net_eth0_tpackets
    [[net_wlan0_rbytes]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = net_wlan0_rbytes
    [[net_wlan0_rpackets]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = net_wlan0_rpackets
    [[net_wlan0_tbytes]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = net_wlan0_tbytes
    [[net_wlan0_tpackets]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = net_wlan0_tpackets
    [[cpu_temp]]
        data_binding = cmon_binding
        observation = cpu_temp

For some observations, like load1, load5, load15 you should make some updates to the diagrams default configs like this:

[DisplayOptions]
    ...
    [[diagrams]]
        ...
        # Computer monitor.
        [[[cpu_user]]]
            yScaleMin = 0
            curve = linear
        [[[cpu_system]]]
            yScaleMin = 0
            curve = linear
        [[[load1]]]
            yScaleOffset = 0.025
            yScaleMin = 0
            curve = linear
        [[[load5]]]
            yScaleOffset = 0.025
            yScaleMin = 0
            curve = linear
        [[[load15]]]
            yScaleOffset = 0.025
            yScaleMin = 0
            curve = linear
        [[[mem_used]]]
            yScaleMin = 0
            curve = linear
        [[[mem_free]]]
            yScaleMin = 0
            curve = linear

A combined diagram with all loadX observations could look like this:

    [[[[[obs]]]]]
        [[[[[[net_eth0_rbytes]]]]]]
            observation = "net_eth0_rbytes"

Use the new combined diagrams:

computer_monitor_diagram_observations = cpu_temp, cmon_cpu, cmon_load, cmon_mem, cmon_proc, cmon_net

Results in something like that:

Roundings:

    [[Rounding]]
        load1 = 2
        load5 = 2
        load15 = 2
