Posting a data on a Html page

[mrteo]

Good day,

Currently, I have a Raspberry Pi that collects data wireless-ly from different sensors in a room, as for now, the Raspberry Pi is program to continuously receive the current of the different lighting and is displayed into an Apache sever, so that means the Raspberry Pi is continuously receiving the numbers (450~530) as indication of the current of the different lightings and is displayed in an Apache sever as txt form. Is it possible to instead display "Healthy" or "Non-Healthy" instead of the numbers? As I am creating a website that monitors that allow users to monitor the data from the different sensors. I want the data display easy to understand on the website.
Thank you

For doing that, you'll need some php script to run and process the data.

I would set up a Ruby Sinatra or NodeJS micro-service, that posts the data in processed form.
How do you collect the data?
Which programming language?

You can regularly rebuild your html page using some sort of library that spits out html, e.g. Scala's scalatags, http://lihaoyi.github.io/scalatags/#GettingStarted , although there must be something similar for other languages.

As long as you make sure you aren't serving up a cached version of the page or using your local browser cached copy or something like that. You could include in your page a javascript bit that regularly refreshes it.

This approach is different from the usual CGI one, so I thought I'd just toss it out.

I'd use Spring Boot with some Groovy or Java and an html template. But it's really all up to you.
