[Plugin - Monitoring] jMon - a Buddy monitor!

jMon - a Buddy monitor.

DOWNLOAD NEW VERSION @ BOTTOM, WILL SELF UPDATE!

Q & A:

What is jMon?
jMon is a monitor solution for Honorbuddy, which will offer great ability to monitor and keep track / statistics over your characters.

Self update what's that?
jMon is stored on a SVN server, if you don't know what it is see wikipedia here. It's simply keeps track of versions of software being developed, and plugin will automatically download latest revision found on my SVN server.
If you want you are free to browse my svn here: http://svn.j-mon.com:443/svn/jMonPlugin/jMon/

Will there be an iPhone / Android app?
Put short no there wont, however site will be themes so that it will act as an "app" though it will lack some elements as push notifications on mobiles, see next q & a.

What about notifications?
I plan to support different kind of API's for push notification, one that i can confirm is mail. Others might be Notifo, Prowl, Tweets, Rss and others alike.

Will it be possible to control bot, through the site?
Yes, however it will be an function user will have to activate in the jMon plugin, this is still in development.

I cant see any reply function?
That's correct, this feature is still being developed, you will be the first to know when its released. [see: self updates]

Security?
Yes there is security, since its not a one line answer you should see my post about it here.

What can we expect?
Pure awesomeness, I'm all about user experience and end user satisfaction. See pictures below to get a "picture" of what I'm talking about.

Page is slow?
Server is moved to new host! My new root server have 32Gb ram, 3Tb disk, quad core i7 2600K (@3,40Ghz), 100Mbit unlimited line. I will closely monitor how the site performs to ensure that it takes as little resources as possible.​

Planned Features:

Green = Done
Orange = Development
Red = To Do ​

• two-way-chat - should not need to explain what this does.
• screen shots - another self explained feature.
• desktop notifications - HTML5 supports a feature called "Desktop Notifications" this means that browsers that support this feature can "show" messages similar to what messages show on iPhone, Android, name your smart mobile here.
• pr bot specific panels - The overview window is only meant as a quick overview by design, meaning is that if you want in-depth information on a bot you view bot of your choice.
• mail notification - self explained.
• thread safe - make plugin honorbuddy thread safe. its not a big issue however some reports may point towards jMon not being entirely thread safe.

Do i plan on adding more then this? Answer is yes, these topics cover vast areas of new features. When i get the time i will write a bit more what features that cover the above topics.

This is working great j0achim and I still haven't encountered a bug yet! I think this is the best monitor on these forums by far especially when you implement your planned features, also I really love your dynamic pages which update in realtime. Thanks man!

What is your API key?

EDIT: Nevermind I found You have to signup then you get the key.

 

[Kopped]

What is your API key?

Once you have registered on his website you will be assigned with a unique API Key.

 

[j0achim]

In you account page on forum you can find your APIKEY.

Just testing it. Seems a bit laggy (website) from on second to the other.
Will give it a try.
Thanks for sharing it :>

Edit:
Okay. For setup you need just to register at the homepage (j-mon.com) and to use the API Key from that site ("Account") for HB plugin config.
Seems not to work for me... No update at the webspage. Activated the debugging mode... the plugin spams around. :>

Solution:
The problem is that the plugin doesn't safe your API key to the setting file. Edit the file right here (jMon.cs):

        /* ------------------------------------------------------------------
         * Change "apikey" below to your given key.
         * ------------------------------------------------------------------
         */
public string apikey = "xxx";

 

[j0achim]

I've updated first post, version 1.0.1 that will use your APIKEY from config window.


Was working with two versions of the plugin at same time

 

[Treuben]

Hurray my first bug report got fixed! :>
Thanks!

 

[AtticusG3]

Tried this and still cant get the plugin to feed data to the web. I do not even see the console spam

This Plugin and work is a peice of art.

j0achim, good work mate.

would recommend this to any one!

Rep++;

 

[j0achim]

Server is still a little buggy, i had to do a last moment rewrite of it because old had major memory leaks, which is resulting in some exceptions that are not caught.

Just testing it. Seems a bit laggy (website) from on second to the other.

You are correct pages are currently a little sluggish, i am having trouble getting jQuery to work the way it should.

 

[S_o_M]

+like best I have seen so far. Will give it a closer shot when I arrive at home. Thanks mate, keep it up.

 

[xittalon]

one big problem:

you got an type error hehe

// No API key...
if (failed)
{
Logging.Write(Color.Red, "[jMon]: YOU HVAE YET TO CONFIGURE YOUR API KEY!");
return;
}

i was not able to test this plugin but i?m very exited to to do it when i come home from work

 

[cm2003]

The server is very slow
Apart from that it's pretty nice. Just missing the answer functionality

(and mobile notification - Notifo for example - would be great)

 

[upirj]

also cyrillic font doesnt work look like this - "???????"

 

[j0achim]

The plugin encodes using ISO 8859-1 which i have to change to UTF-8 (i will upload a new version of the plugin a little later)
