I get the following error in my Homepage PiAlert widget:

* **API Error: HTTP Error**
* **URL:
http://10.50.0.108/php/server/devices.php?action=getDevicesTotals**

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

How does your services.yaml looks like?
for me it looks like you are missing the port


widget:
  type: pialert
  url: http://ip:port

Currently I have this:

        - PiAlert:
        icon: pi-alert.png
        href: http://10.50.0.108:80
        fields: ["total", "connected", "new_devices", "down_alerts"]
        description: PiAlert
        widget:
          type: pialert
          url: http://10.50.0.108:80

can you access the url above? [http://10.50.0.108/php/server/devices.p
hp?action=getDevicesTotals](http://10.50.0.108/php/server/devices.php?
action=getDevicesTotals)

try to use:

url: [http://10.50.0.108:80/pialert/](http://10.50.0.108:80/pialert/)
or /pialert


which fork did you use for pialert?

The first link doesn't work (404), the second link does work. I am
running PiAlert in an LXC container and used the Tteck script.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So

widget:
  type: pialert
  url: http://10.50.0.108:80/pialert/

Should be the solution?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm spinning up a Debian container and will install on there to see if
it's any better...

Not sure if i tried that yet, I'll give it a go.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sparkynerd · 2023-12-23 22:11

Update: not working with the new instance either.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
A-Void-Me · 2023-12-23 23:31

i just tried and used the tteck script. default settings.


my config:
\- PiAlert:
icon: pi-alert.png
href: http://192.168.100.45/pialert/
widget:
type: pialert
url: [http://192.168.100.45/pialert/](http://192.168.100.45/pialert/)


should work

Here is the latest log:

its still the wrong url, change it to:


\- PiAlert:
icon: pi-alert.png
href: http://10.50.0.108:80
description: PiAlert
widget:
type: pialert
url: http://10.50.0.108/pialert/

I tried that also, still no love, same API Error: HTTP Error.
Literally all of my other widgets work beautifully except this one,
and I'm out of ideas. It's almost to the point of not being worth the
grief. I may take a break from troubleshooting this one and come back
to it later.

I tried that and it didn't appear to work. My WinSCP needed to
reconnect to upload the services yaml file. Working finally, thanks!!!
