SystemMonitor is a project to store metrics like CPU or network usage from a system like the Raspberry Pi. The script was written and tested in Python 3.

1. Make sure to install Python and Pip correctly
2. Set the execute flags:

chmod +x install.sh
chmod +x run.sh
chmod +x monitor.py

3. Install all required pip package dependencies with:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Setup a MySQL database server and run the scripts SetupProcedures.sql and SetupTables.sql inside the database.

5. Adjust your settings in the monitor.py file:

databaseUser = 'default'
databasePassword = 'asdf'
databaseName = 'SystemMonitor'
hostAddress = '192.168.2.2'
databasePort = 3307

6. Probably run this script in a cronjob:

sudo crontab -e

and add e.g. the line

* * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/SystemMonitor/monitor.py

to execute the script every minute.
