About iStat Server

iStat Server is a system monitoring daemon that is used in conjunction with iStat for iOS (https://bjango.com/ios/istat/) and iStat for macOS (https://bjango.com/mac/istat/) to remotely monitor computers.


Supported OSs
- Linux
- FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and other BSD based OSs
- AIX
- Solaris
- HP-UX (Still in development and not tested)


Requirements
- C and C++ compilers such as gcc and g++.
- Auto tools (autoconf and automake).
- OpenSSL/libssl + development libraries.
- sqlite3 + development libraries.
- libxml2 + development libraries.

We have a package guide available to help you install all the required packages for your OS - https://bjango.com/help/istat3/linuxpackages/


Building and starting iStat Server
- cd /path/to/istatserver
- ./autogen
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
- sudo /usr/local/bin/istatserver -d (daemon mode)

A default passcode is generated on install. It can be found in the preference file, which is generally located at /usr/local/etc/istatserver/istatserver.conf. iStat for iOS and iStat for macOS will ask for this passcode the first time you connect to your computer.


Example boot scripts for rc.d, upstart and system are located inside the resources folder. You may need to customize these depending on your OS
