# 🫒Using OliveTin to Provide a Dashboard for Debian🐧 I have created a dashboard using Olive Tin which can be downloaded from github: %[https://github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin] Its in the list of tools that I use: %[https://hubandspoke.amastelek.com/tools] ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1721115940526/569efdd7-e064-4886-899b-20422a1b6a07.png align="center") Here is my example configuration file for OliveTin: ```plaintext listenAddressSingleHTTPFrontend: 0.0.0.0:1337 pageTitle: Fusion Edge Panel showFooter: false # Choose from INFO (default), WARN and DEBUG logLevel: "INFO" actions: - title: Node Information shell: fastfetch -c /etc/fastfetch/fusion.jsonc --pipe false icon: "🚨" popupOnStart: execution-dialog-stdout-only - title: Node IP Addresses shell: displayedgeIPs.sh icon: "📚" popupOnStart: execution-dialog-stdout-only - title: Test the Internet shell: TERM=xterm prettyping --last 20 --rttmin 1 --rttmax 40 -c 60 1.1.1.1 icon: "🫠" popupOnStart: execution-dialog - title: Check disk space icon: disk shell: df -h /media popupOnStart: execution-dialog-stdout-only - title: check console logs shell: dmesg | tail icon: logs popupOnStart: execution-dialog - title: Display Bonding Logs shell: timeout 5s bondlog -f -n 100 icon: "🪵" timeout: 10 popupOnStart: execution-dialog-stdout-only - title: Display Netify Agent shell: netifyd -s icon: "🥅" popupOnStart: execution-dialog-stdout-only - title: Ping host shell: ping {{ host }} -c {{ count }} icon: ping timeout: 100 popupOnStart: execution-dialog-stdout-only arguments: - name: host title: Host type: ascii_identifier default: example.com description: The host that you want to ping - name: count title: Count type: int default: 3 description: How many times to do you want to ping?

Here are the IPs on the device: ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1719466418958/d1d56bf4-6d96-4e42-bbf4-1a56dd3b05b9.png align="center") The command to display that is too long so a script is used: ```plaintext #!/bin/bash echo "WAN1 IP Address: $(ip -4 addr show eth1 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | head -1)"; echo "WAN2 IP Address: $(ip -4 addr show eth2 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | head -1)"; echo "WAN3 IP Address: $(ip -4 addr show eth3 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | head -1)"; echo "LAN Local: $(ip -4 addr show eth0 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | head -1)"; echo "LAN Gateway: $(ip -4 addr show eth0 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | sed -n '2p')"; echo "Public IP Address: $(curl -s ifconfig.me)" ``` This is a one minute test to the Internet and this case I'm using Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 as the target. The tool being used is [prettyping](https://github.com/denilsonsa/prettyping), which provides the same look and feels as the extended ping of the Cisco cli. ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1719466852511/d7ae53ca-a5e7-4eb8-a3df-b1a6dabd9919.png align="center") The tool displays the disk space on the device: ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1719467184226/a39c3f36-0886-4f5d-9c9b-7b13c7867d51.png align="center") The tool displays the console log: ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1719467271493/efc67625-7bfd-4c88-aea6-ac4d6774f2e4.png align="center") Display from 3rd party networking logs: ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1719467920403/738018e4-cf1e-4c9f-a294-47e78605b41e.png align="center") Status from 3rd party tool: ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1719468261564/36905e4a-9ad5-4cc0-a78f-e5a1fb030124.png align="center") Results of speedtest on WAN interface: ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1719468763735/2bebde2f-d712-4195-bb97-d5535ce79d06.png align="center") IPs and devices on the LAN: ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1719472343787/64634773-f1f5-42b9-8df3-3a1d50ddb9ac.png align="center") [Ronald Bartels](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronaldxbartels/) ensures that Internet inhabiting things are connected reliably online at [Fusion Broadband South Africa](https://www.linkedin.com/company/fusion-broadband-south-africa/) - the leading specialized SD-WAN provider in South Africa.
