This acts as a web-based CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) to allow multiple caregivers to remotely view a patient's glucose data in real time. The server reads a MongoDB which is intended to be data from a physical CGM, where it sends new SGV (sensor glucose values) as the data becomes available. The data is then displayed graphically and blood glucose values are predicted 0.5 hours ahead using an autoregressive second order model. Alarms are generated for high and low values, which can be cleared by any watcher of the data.
Nightscout documentation is currently split to two locations. This page lists all the configuration options in Nightscout and is useful for users who've already gone through the installation process. IF you're looking for the documentation that looks like it's written for non-programmers, that's located at nightscout.github.io.
Older documentation is available at nightscout.info.

- Nightscout Setup (recommended)
While you can install Nightscout on a virtual server or a Raspberry Pi, we do not recommend this unless you have at least some experience hosting Node applications and development using the toolchain in use with Nightscout.
If you're a hosting provider and want to provide our users additional hosting options, you're welcome to issue a documentation pull request with instructions on how to setup Nightscout on your system.
Our browserslist policy is documented in .browserlistrc
.
We currently support approximately 91% of all browsers globally used. These include:
- Android Chrome: 104 or later (
and_chr
) - Google Chrome: 101 or later (
chrome
) - Microsoft Edge: 103 or later (

safari
) - Samsung Internet on Android: 17.0 or later (
samsung
) - Internet Explorer 11 : not supported
Older versions or other browsers might work, but are untested and unsupported. We'll try to to keep Nightscout compatible with older iPads (e.g. Safari on iOS 10.3.4), but note that those devices are not supported by Apple anymore and have known security issues. Debugging these old devices gets harder due to Apple not supporting debugging the old devices on Macs that have been updated. Some features may not work with devices/browsers on the older end of these requirements.
- Node.js Latest Node v14 or v16 LTS. Node versions that do not have the latest security patches will not be supported. Use Install instructions for Node or use
bin/setup.sh
) - MongoDB 4.2 or 4.4.
As a non-root user clone this repo then install dependencies into the root of the project:
$ npm install
- Your site redirects insecure connections to
https
by default. If you use a reverse proxy like nginx or Apache to handle the connection security for you, make sure it sets theX-Forwarded-Proto
header. Otherwise nightscout will be unable to know if it was called through a secure connection and will try to redirect you to the https version. If you're unable to set this Header, you can change theINSECURE_USE_HTTP
setting in nightscout to true in order to allow insecure connections without being redirected. - In case you use a proxy. Do not use an external network interfaces for hosting Nightscout. Make sure the unsecure port is not available from a remote network connection
- HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) headers are enabled by default, use settings
SECURE_HSTS_HEADER
andSECURE_HSTS_HEADER_*
- See Predefined values for your server settings for more details
- If deploying the software to Microsoft Azure, you must set ** in the app settings for WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION and SCM_COMMAND_IDLE_TIMEOUT before you deploy the latest Nightscout or the site deployment will likely fail. Other hosting environments do not require this setting. Additionally, if using the Azure free hosting tier, the installation might fail due to resource constraints imposed by Azure on the free hosting. Please set the following settings to the environment in Azure:
WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION=16.16.0
SCM_COMMAND_IDLE_TIMEOUT=300
- See install MongoDB, Node.js, and Nightscouton a single Windows system. if you want to host your Nightscout outside of the cloud. Although the instructions are intended for Windows Server the procedure is compatible with client versions of Windows such as Windows 7 and Windows 10.
- If you deploy to Windows and want to develop or test you need to install Cygwin (use setup-x86_64.exe and make sure to install
build-essential
package. Test your configuration by executingmake
and check if all tests are ok.
Want to help with development, or just see how Nightscout works? Great! See CONTRIBUTING.md for development-related documentation.
The data being uploaded from the server to the client is from a MongoDB server such as [MongoDB Atlas][https://www.mongodb.com].
The easiest way to update your version of cgm-remote-monitor to the latest version is to use the update tool. A step-by-step guide is available [here][https://www.nightscout.info/wiki/welcome/how-to-update-to-latest-cgm-remote-monitor-aka-cookie]. To downgrade to an older version, follow [this guide][https://www.nightscout.info/wiki/welcome/how-to-deploy-an-older-version-of-nightscout].
Use the autoconfigure tool to sync an uploader to your config.
The Nightscout API enables direct access to your data without the need for Mongo access.
You can find CGM data in /api/v1/entries
, Care Portal Treatments in /api/v1/treatments
, and Treatment Profiles in /api/v1/profile
.
The server status and settings are available from /api/v1/status.json
.
By default the /entries
and /treatments
APIs limit results to the the most recent 10 values from the last 2 days.
You can get many more results, by using the count
, date
, dateString
, and created_at
parameters, depending on the type of data you're looking for.
Once you've installed Nightscout, you can access API documentation by loading /api-docs/
URL in your instance.
(replace https://localhost:1337
with your own URL)
- 100's:
https://localhost:1337/api/v1/entries.json?find[sgv]=100
- Count of 100's in a month:
https://localhost:1337/api/v1/count/entries/where?find[dateString][$gte]=2016-09&find[dateString][$lte]=2016-10&find[sgv]=100

Nightscout allows to create custom, simplified views using a predefined set of elements. This option is available under [+]
link in the main menu.
List of available items:
SGV
- Sensor Glucose ValueSGV age
- time since the last SGV readSGV delta
- change of SGV in the last 5 minutesTrend arrow
- icon of the SG trendTime
- current timeLine break
- invisible item that will move following items to the next line (by default all are showing on the same level)
All visible items have Size
property which allows to customize the view even more. Also, all items may appear multiple times on the view.
Apart from adding items, it is possible to customize other aspects of the views, like selecting Color
or Black
background. The first one will indicate current BG threshold (green = in range; blue = below range; yellow = above range; red = urgent below/above).
Show SGV age
option will make SGV age
item appear Always
or only if the predefined threshold is reached: Only after threshold
. Breaching SGV age threshold
will also make Color
background turn grey and strike through SGV
.
Clock view configurator
will generate an URL (available under Open my clock view!
link) that could be bookmarked.
There are a few default views available from the main menu:
Clock
- Shows current BG, trend arrow, and time of day. Grey text on a black background.Color
- Shows current BG and trend arrow. White text on a color background.Simple
- Shows current BG. Grey text on a black background.
If you launch one of these views in a fullscreen view in iOS, you can use a left-to-right swipe gesture to exit the view.
Some users will need easy access to multiple Nightscout views at the same time. We have a special view for this case, accessed on /split path on your Nightscout URL. The view supports any number of sites between 1 to 8 way split, where the content for the screen can be loaded from multiple Nightscout instances. Note you still need to host separate instances for each Nightscout being monitored including the one that hosts the split view page - these variables only add the ability to load multiple views into one browser page. To set the URLs from which the content is loaded, set:
FRAME_URL_1
- URL where content is loaded, for the first view (increment the number up to 8 to get more views)FRAME_NAME_1
- Name for the first split view portion of the screen (increment the number to name more views)
Plugins are used extend the way information is displayed, how notifications are sent, alarms are triggered, and more.
The built-in/example plugins that are available by default are listed below. The plugins may still need to be enabled by adding to the ENABLE
environment variable.
These can be disabled by adding them to the DISABLE
variable, for example DISABLE="direction upbat"

Calculates BG using sensor and calibration records from and displays an alternate BG values and noise levels. Defaults that can be adjusted with extended setting
DISPLAY
(unsmoothed
) - Allows the user to control which algorithm is used to calculate the displayed raw BG values using the most recent calibration record.unfiltered
- Raw BG is calculated by applying the calibration to the glucose record's unfiltered value.filtered
- Raw BG is calculated by applying the calibration to the glucose record's filtered value. The glucose record's filtered values are generally produced by the CGM by a running average of the unfiltered values to produce a smoothed value when the sensor noise is high.unsmoothed
- Raw BG is calculated by first finding the ratio of the calculated filtered value (the same value calculated by thefiltered
setting) to the reported glucose value. The displayed raw BG value is calculated by dividing the calculated unfiltered value (the same value calculated by theunfiltered
setting) by the ratio. The effect is to exagerate changes in trend direction so the trend changes are more noticeable to the user. This is the legacy raw BG calculation algorithm.
Adds the IOB pill visualization in the client and calculates values that used by other plugins. Uses treatments with insulin doses and the dia
and sens
fields from the treatment profile.
Adds the COB pill visualization in the client and calculates values that used by other plugins. Uses treatments with carb doses and the carbs_hr
, carbratio
, and sens
fields from the treatment profile.
This plugin in intended for the purpose of automatically snoozing alarms when the CGM indicates high blood sugar but there is also insulin on board (IOB) and secondly, alerting to user that it might be beneficial to measure the blood sugar using a glucometer and dosing insulin as calculated by the pump or instructed by trained medicare professionals. The values provided by the plugin are provided as a reference based on CGM data and insulin sensitivity you have configured, and are not intended to be used as a reference for bolus calculation. The plugin calculates the bolus amount when above your target, generates alarms when you should consider checking and bolusing, and snoozes alarms when there is enough IOB to cover a high BG. Uses the results of the iob
plugin and sens
, target_high
, and target_low
fields from the treatment profile. Defaults that can be adjusted with extended setting

Show size of Nightscout Database, as a percentage of declared available space or in MiB.
Many deployments of Nightscout use free tier of MongoDB Atlas on Heroku, which is limited in size. After some time, as volume of stored data grows, it may happen that this limit is reached and system is unable to store new data. This plugin provides pill that indicates size of Database and shows (when configured) alarms regarding reaching space limit.
IMPORTANT: This plugin can only check how much space database already takes, but cannot infer max size available on server for it. To have correct alarms and realistic percentage, DBSIZE_MAX
need to be properly set - according to your mongoDB hosting configuration.
NOTE: This plugin rely on db.stats() for reporting logical size of database, which may be different than physical size of database on server. It may work for free tier of MongoDB on Atlas, since it calculate quota according to logical size too, but may fail for other hostings or self-hosted database with quota based on physical size.
NOTE: MongoDB Atlas quota is for all databases in cluster, while each instance will get only size of its own database only. It is ok when you only have one database in cluster (most common scenario) but will not work for multiple parallel databases. In such case, spliting known quota equally beetween databases and setting DBSIZE_MAX
to that fraction may help, but wont be precise.
All sizes are expressed as integers, in Mebibytes 1 MiB == 1024 KiB == 1024*1024 B
DBSIZE_MAX
(496
) - Maximal allowed size of database on your mongoDB server, in MiB. You need to adjust that value to match your database hosting limits - default value is for standard Heroku mongoDB free tier.DBSIZE_WARN_PERCENTAGE
(60
) - Threshold to show first warning about database size. When database reach this percentage ofDBSIZE_MAX
size - pill will show size in yellow.DBSIZE_URGENT_PERCENTAGE
(75
) - Threshold to show urgent warning about database size. When database reach this percentage ofDBSIZE_MAX
size, it is urgent to do backup and clean up old data. At this percentage info pill turns red.DBSIZE_ENABLE_ALERTS
(false
) - Set totrue
to enable notifications about database size.DBSIZE_IN_MIB
(false
) - Set totrue
to display size of database in MiB-s instead of default percentage.
This plugin should be enabled by default, if needed can be diasabled by adding dbsize
to the list of disabled plugins, for example: DISABLE="dbsize"
.
Some plugins support additional configuration using extra environment variables. These are prefixed with the name of the plugin and a _
. For example setting MYPLUGIN_EXAMPLE_VALUE=1234
would make extendedSettings.exampleValue
available to the MYPLUGIN
plugin.
Plugins only have access to their own extended settings, all the extended settings of client plugins will be sent to the browser.
DEVICESTATUS_ADVANCED
(true
) - Defaults to true. Users who only have a single device uploading data to Nightscout can set this to false to reduce the data use of the site.DEVICESTATUS_DAYS
(1
) - Defaults to 1, can optionally be set to 2. Users can use this to show 48 hours of device status data for in retro mode, rather than the default 24 hours. Setting this value to 2 will roughly double the bandwidth usage of nightscout, so users with a data cap may not want to update this setting.
In addition to the normal web based alarms, there is also support for Pushover based alarms and notifications.
To get started install the Pushover application on your iOS or Android device and create an account.
Using that account login to Pushover, in the top left you’ll see your User Key, you’ll need this plus an application API Token/Key to complete this setup.
You’ll need to Create a Pushover Application. You only need to set the Application name, you can ignore all the other settings, but setting an Icon is a nice touch. Maybe you'd like to use this one?
Pushover is configured using the following Environment Variables:
* `ENABLE` - `pushover` should be added to the list of plugin, for example: `ENABLE="pushover"`.
* `PUSHOVER_API_TOKEN` - Used to enable pushover notifications, this token is specific to the application you create from in [Pushover](https://pushover.net/), ***[additional pushover information](#pushover)*** below.
* `PUSHOVER_USER_KEY` - Your Pushover user key, can be found in the top left of the [Pushover](https://pushover.net/) site, this can also be a pushover delivery group key to send to a group rather than just a single user. This also supports a space delimited list of keys. To disable `INFO` level pushes set this to `off`.
* `PUSHOVER_ALARM_KEY` - An optional Pushover user/group key, will be used for system wide alarms (level > `WARN`). If not defined this will fallback to `PUSHOVER_USER_KEY`. A possible use for this is sending important messages and alarms to a CWD that you don't want to send all notification too. This also support a space delimited list of keys. To disable Alarm pushes set this to `off`.
* `PUSHOVER_ANNOUNCEMENT_KEY` - An optional Pushover user/group key, will be used for system wide user generated announcements. If not defined this will fallback to `PUSHOVER_USER_KEY` or `PUSHOVER_ALARM_KEY`. This also support a space delimited list of keys. To disable Announcement pushes set this to `off`.
* `BASE_URL` - Used for pushover callbacks, usually the URL of your Nightscout site, use https when possible.
* `API_SECRET` - Used for signing the pushover callback request for acknowledgments.
If you never want to get info level notifications (treatments) use `PUSHOVER_USER_KEY="off"`
If you never want to get an alarm via pushover use `PUSHOVER_ALARM_KEY="off"`
If you never want to get an announcement via pushover use `PUSHOVER_ANNOUNCEMENT_KEY="off"`
If only `PUSHOVER_USER_KEY` is set it will be used for all info notifications, alarms, and announcements
For testing/development try [localtunnel](https://localtunnel.me/).
In addition to the normal web based alarms, and pushover, there is also integration for IFTTT Webhooks.
With Maker you are able to integrate with all the other IFTTT Services. For example you can send a tweet when there is an alarm, change the color of hue light, send an email, send and sms, and so much more.
- Setup IFTTT account: login or create an account
- Follow the Detailed IFTTT setup Instructions
- Configure Nightscout by setting these webpage environment variables:
ENABLE
-maker
should be added to the list of plugins, for example:ENABLE="maker"
.MAKER_KEY
- Set this to your secret key (see [Detailed Instructions )MAKER_KEY="abcMyExampleabc123defjt1DeNSiftttmak-XQb69p"
This also supports a space delimited list of keys.MAKER_ANNOUNCEMENT_KEY
- An optional Maker key, will be used for system wide user generated announcements. If not defined this will fallback toMAKER_KEY
. A possible use for this is sending important messages and alarms to another device that you don't want to send all notification too. This also support a space delimited list of keys.
Plugins can create custom events, but all events sent to IFTTT webhooks will be prefixed with ns-
. The core events are:
ns-event
- This event is sent to the maker service for all alarms and notifications. This is good catch all event for general logging.ns-allclear
- This event is sent to the maker service when an alarm has been ack'd or when the server starts up without triggering any alarms. For example, you could use this event to turn a light to green.ns-info
- Plugins that generate notifications at the info level will cause this event to also be triggered. It will be sent in addition tons-event
.ns-warning
- Alarms at the warning level with cause this event to also be triggered. It will be sent in addition tons-event
.ns-urgent
- Alarms at the urgent level with cause this event to also be triggered. It will be sent in addition tons-event
.- see the full list of events
Some of the plugins make use of a treatment profile that can be edited using the Profile Editor, see the link in the Settings drawer on your site.
Treatment Profile Fields:
timezone
(Time Zone) - time zone local to the patient. Should be set.units
(Profile Units) - blood glucose units used in the profile, either "mg/dl" or "mmol"dia
(Insulin duration) - value should be the duration of insulin action to use in calculating how much insulin is left active. Defaults to 3 hours.carbs_hr
(Carbs per Hour) - The number of carbs that are processed per hour, for more information see #DIYPS.carbratio
(Carb Ratio) - grams per unit of insulin.sens
(Insulin sensitivity) How much one unit of insulin will normally lower blood glucose.basal
The basal rate set on the pump.target_high
- Upper target for correction boluses.target_low
- Lower target for correction boluses.
Some example profiles are here.
Easy to emulate on the commandline:
echo 'MONGO_CONNECTION=mongodb:https://sally:[email protected]:99999/nightscout' >> my.env
echo 'MONGO_COLLECTION=entries' >> my.env
From now on you can run using
$ (eval $(cat my.env | sed 's/^/export /') && PORT=1337 node server.js)
Your hosting provider probably has a way to set these through their GUI.
Optionally, use Vagrant with the
included Vagrantfile
and bin/setup.sh
to install OS and node packages to
a virtual machine.
host$ vagrant up
host$ vagrant ssh
vm$ ./bin/setup.sh
The setup script will install OS packages then run npm install
.
The Vagrant VM serves to your host machine only on 192.168.33.10, you can access the web interface on https://192.168.33.10:1337
Feel free to post an issue, but read the wiki first.
