New Pi-Hole Widget API?

[vmsman]

I like the idea of the new Pi-hole Widget. Pi-hole has a setting called Web Interface - API Settings, but there is no API token in the expert settings of Pi-hole. Where do I get the API Token?

Don't use the widget for pihole v6 yet, I am working on intergrating the new api as well (they rewrote everything). The current implementation is only for pihole v5

Works like a champ. I gave it my VRRP address and that way my current Pi-Hole will be the one monitored by the dashboard. Not sure what you mean by V6 API though. I provided my password. The V6 API screen is labelled Web/API but really provides no API. What am I missing?

Even though the Pi-Hole Widget provides the "show label" option, it will always be "Pi-Hole". Since I have different Pi-holes, I would like the ability to label them in the dashboard. Example: "Pi-hole Main LAN" or Pi-hole IoT".

No that's it, if it is connecting and getting data back from Pi-Hole v6 instance then it is working correctly, that's what I was checking.

Yes, to your point, the label is just Pi-Hole, I can add an option to change the name of it too.

@AnthonyGress Lab-dash is really turning out to be an awesome app. Honestly, the thing that would really push it over the top would be if Lab-dash could perform uptime/downtime notifications like Uptime Kuma. Uptime Kuma uses call outs to apprise. Uptime Kuma has this long single page interface that makes seeing uptime/downtime at a glance "clunky". If this feature were added to Lab-dash, it would be an excellent replacement to Heimdall and Uptime Kuma.

@vmsman Thanks, glad you're liking it. That's an interesting idea I can create a ticket for it
