System monitor graph Desklet
Desklet to show graphs for the level of activity in various system variables including: CPU, memory, and disks. The desklet supports multiple instances with different system variables with the idea of presenting them in a uniform way.
Four instances of the Desklet in action.
This project has been inspired from other Desklets such as Disk Space, CPU Load, Simple system monitor, Network usage monitor, Top, and the Rainmeter Win10 Widgets.
Features
Variables to monitor (v1.0 - May 2020)
| System variable | Description |
|---|---|
| CPU | CPU usage in % |
| RAM | Used RAM as % of total, and in GB |
| HDD | % of I/O activity, and free and total space in the filesystem (partition) indicated by the user |
Each variable is calculated every Refresh interval seconds (Min. 1 s, Max. 60 s.), and the graph shows the last Duration of the graph period (Min. 30 s, Max. 60 min).
Customizable visual elements
