# Esports Center Public Monitoring System

This project provides a **publicly displayed** network monitoring system for our esports center. It shows real-time information about network capacity, server status, and local PCs (e.g., whether they are active or inactive). The system is built using **Prometheus**, **Grafana**, **SNMP Exporter**, and a custom Python script to monitor PC activity.

## Features
- **PC Monitoring** (`PcMonitor/`): Monitors local PCs and displays their online/offline status.
- **Network Monitoring** (`prometheus/` & `snmp_exporter/`): Tracks network usage, server health, and other SNMP-based data.
- **Grafana Dashboards** (`grafana/dashboards/`): Publicly visible metrics with real-time updates.
- **Prometheus Metrics**: Data collection and storage for analysis.
- **Automated Deployment**: Not implemented yet
- **More stuff to come**


## System Components
- **Python Script (`PcMonitor.py`)**: Pings PCs and updates Prometheus metrics.
- **Prometheus**: Collects metrics from the Python script and SNMP exporter.
- **SNMP Exporter**: Gathers network and server data.
- **Grafana**: Visualizes all collected metrics on a screen for public viewing.

## Setup Instructions

### 1. Install Dependencies
Run the installation script to set up Prometheus, SNMP Exporter, and Grafana:
```sh
./deploy.sh
```

### 2. Start the Monitoring Services
To ensure all services are running, use:
```sh
systemctl start prometheus
systemctl start snmp_exporter
systemctl start pc_monitor
systemctl start grafana-server
```

### 3. Access the Public Dashboard
- **Prometheus UI:** `http://<raspberrypi-ip>:9090`
- **SNMP Exporter:** `http://<raspberrypi-ip>snmp?target=<fortigate-switch-ip>`
- **Grafana UI:** `http://<raspberrypi-ip>:3000`
- **Metrics Endpoint (for debugging):** `http://<raspberrypi-ip>:8003/metrics`

### 4. Auto-Start Services on Boot
To make sure everything restarts after a power outage, enable the services:
```sh
systemctl enable prometheus
systemctl enable snmp_exporter
systemctl enable pc_monitor
systemctl enable grafana-server
```

This system helps staff and players **stay informed** about network conditions and PC availability in real-time.But its mostly for fun 🚀
