Graphical System Monitor


A customizable system monitor showing data and history charts in your cinnamon panel.

Features

  • Monitors cpu, memory, swap, network, system load
  • Colored chart in the panel along with optional textual values
  • Tooltip with large chart containing more history on hover
  • Launch system monitor app of your choice on click
  • Size and colors fully customizable
  • Horizontal/Vertical panel layouts, although the layout will be better on a horizontal one

Prerequisites

This applet uses glibtop to get system resources usage statistics. It may be pre-installed in your distro, otherwise you must install it:

  • Ubuntu, Mint
    sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtop-2.0
  • Fedora
    sudo dnf install libgtop2

Notes

This is a fork of sysmonitor@orcus. The main idea was kept, but most of the code was rewritten. Also add graphical tooltips and textual data on the graphs. provider.js was almost kept as is.

Thanks to @orcus for his original work.

Cant set commands with arguments to run when clicking the applet. It seems to not accept spaces for the command. If the command is a uninterrupted line, without spaces, it works.
