System Information ​

The dashboard also shows a live summary of the Pi's current state:

  • Hostname and IP address — for connecting from other devices
  • Uptime — how long the Pi has been running
  • CPU temperature — watch this if the Pi is under heavy load
  • Load average — 1, 5, and 15 minute averages
  • Memory — used vs total
  • Disk — storage used vs available
  • Weather — current conditions if configured
