+# Server Monitoring Dashboard
+
+A lightweight monitoring dashboard for servers with JWT authentication and real-time metrics.
+
+## Features
+
+- Real-time system metrics display
+- Application performance monitoring
+- Service status monitoring
+- Secure JWT authentication
+- Responsive web interface
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.6+
+- Dependencies:
+ - PyJWT
+ - (Optional) python-dotenv for .env file support
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone this repository
+2. Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install PyJWT
+pip install python-dotenv # Optional but recommended
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+You can configure the application using environment variables or by creating a `.env` file in the project root directory.
+
+### Using .env file (recommended)
+
+Create a `.env` file in the project root with the following variables:
+
+```
+# Security
+JWT_SECRET=your_secret_jwt_key
+AUTH_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
+
+# Server Configuration
+SERVER_PORT=8000
+JWT_EXPIRATION_HOURS=8
+
+# SNMP Configuration
+SNMP_HOST=127.0.0.1
+SNMP_COMMUNITY=your_snmp_community_string
+SNMP_VERSION=2c
+SNMP_COLLECTION_INTERVAL=10
+```
+
+### Using Environment Variables
+
+Alternatively, you can set the environment variables directly:
+
+```bash
+export JWT_SECRET=your_secret_jwt_key
+export AUTH_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
+export SERVER_PORT=8000
+# ... and so on
+```
+
+### Security Notes
+
+- **JWT_SECRET**: Should be a random, secure string. You can generate one using:
+ ```python
+ python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))"
+ ```
+- **AUTH_PASSWORD**: Choose a strong password to protect your metrics dashboard
+- If no JWT_SECRET is provided, a random one will be generated at startup (not recommended for production)
+- If no AUTH_PASSWORD is provided, a random one will be generated and displayed at startup
+
+## Running the Server
+
+```bash
+python server.py
+```
+
+The server will start and display the URL where you can access the dashboard.
+
+## Accessing the Dashboard
+
+1. Navigate to the server URL in your browser (default: http://localhost:8000)
+2. Click "View Server Metrics"
+3. Enter the password configured in AUTH_PASSWORD
+4. View your real-time metrics
