### Attributes

`enabled` <br />

**Note:** If you're using logging and logging is _disabled_, your logs
will still be written to file, the widget just won't be shown onscreen.
If you have `logger.Log` calls in your code, regardless of this setting,
they will be written out. <br />
Values: `true`, `false`.

`position` <br />
Defines where in the grid this module's widget will be displayed. <br />

`refreshInterval` <br />
How often, in seconds, this module will update its data. <br />
Values: A positive integer, `0..n`.
