Tips for getting Remote Monitoring test files up and running



You will need to place the provided monitor.html and test.php on your server in one location.  Kiosk Pro's homepage will be set to the monitor.html page.

In the same location, you will also need to manually create the target 'monitoringLogs' folder before running the test. In the url example described below, this folder would be placed within the 'remotemonitoring' folder alongside the test.php and monitor.html files.  Log files generated will be saved in this folder.

Check access rights for the 'remotemonitoring' folder on the server. I've gotten success only after 'read/write for everyone' has been provided for it.


In terms of Kiosk Pro Plus settings for these example file:

Enable will be toggled to the on position.

The URL for data (in kiosk settings) should be a full web address including http://, as in 'http://www.example.com/remotemonitoring/test.php'. 

Data to be sent: var1,var2,var3


If you are still having problems, check that PHP is set up properly for your server. To do this, place ' < ?php phpinfo(); ?> ' into the body of a test .php file, upload this to your server and open it in a browser. The php info page should be displayed. Don't forget to delete the file from your server when you are finished so that it is not available for public access.

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. 

App will send following body:
kioskpro_id='iPad1'&date=2011-09-12%2011:20:48%20+0000&var1=1&var2=2&var3=3

Example of logged string:
a:5:{s:11:"kioskpro_id";s:7:"'iPad1'";s:4:"date";s:25:"2011-09-12 11:22:55  0000";s:4:"var1";s:1:"1";s:4:"var2";s:1:"2";s:4:"var3";s:1:"3";}
