Multi-Core System Monitor
This applet displays real-time CPU usage for each core/processor as well as overall memory and disk usage (including encrypted partitions). It also can display the CPU temperature.
Dependencies
For Cinnamon version lesser than 5.6 you must install the gir1.2-gtop-2.0 package to use this applet. This package is no longer needed with Cinnamon 5.6+.
Better display using the DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf font from the fonts-dejavu-mono package.
CPU temperature
By default, this applet read the CPU temperature from the system file:
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp
If this does not work for you, search for the appropriate file from /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone* using nemo.
Once found, this file should contain the information 41000 when the CPU temperature is 41°C.
Then enter its path in the "Path to the system file used to check the CPU temperature" field, in the CPU tab of this applet's settings.
You can display the CPU temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), if you wish.
You can set color warnings when the CPU temperature reaches a High or Critical level.
Memory
The user can choose between the htop method (recommended) and the System Monitor method to calculate memory values.
Network
Starting with Cinnamon 5.6, you can display the total amount transferred or the instantaneous transfer speed.
Battery
Starting with Cinnamon 5.6, you can display the percentage of charge for each battery. In the tooltip you can see info like this: BAT0 (90%): 95% 90% means that your BAT0 battery has a health status of 90% relative to its rated capacity. The older your battery gets, the lower this percentage becomes. 95% means that your battery is charged to 95% of its current maximum capacity. This therefore represents 95% of 90% (i.e., 85.5%) of its rated capacity.
Line graphs (Network and Disk)
Starting with Cinnamon 5.6, you can display:
- Curves only
- Led only
- Both
- None
Labels
You can customize the labels:
- You can use emojis as characters and set the vertical offset (in pixels) for each of them.
- You can bring each label to the background or to the foreground (use module colors with transparency from 50% to 67%).
