fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor

Ayatana application indicator to show various system parameters - Debian and Ubuntu

Quick setup, suited to the desktop interfaces of at least GNOME, MATE and Budgie

if using ayatana based appindicators:

sudo apt install python3-psutil gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1

if using ubuntu based appindicators:
sudo apt install python3-psutil gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1

Then:

git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor.git
cd indicator-sysmonitor
sudo make install
cd ..
rm -rf indicator-sysmonitor
nohup indicator-sysmonitor &

Output configurations can be accessed by clicking on the Indicator-Sysmonitor applet, selecting Preferences, then Advanced and then entering text into the "Customize output:" text entry field. Some suggested output configurations are as follows:

Standard Setup Example

║{net}	║{publiccountryiso}║cpu:{cpu}/{cputemp}║m/fs:{mem}/{fs///}║

A setup with Nvidia GPU

║{net}	║country:{publiccountryiso}║cpu:{cpu}/{cputemp}║gpu:{nvgpu}/{nvgputemp}║m/fs:{mem}/{fs///}║

Another example setup with Nvidia eGPU and AMD iGPU running in the same system

{net}	║CPU {cpu} {cputemp} ║RD {amdgpu} NV {nvgpu} {nvgputemp} ║ MEM {mem} {swap} ║ {fs///}

Note: nvidia-smi command should work normally and(/or) your card0 should be the radeon gpu. You can test it with this command:

cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/gpu_busy_percent

If we run this command, we can see the cards:

ls /sys/class/drm/

on the system that was running the config above, card0 is the Radeon integrated GPU and card1 is the external Nvidia GPU.

---

* Use following string to use custom preview that is shown above. (Proprietary Nvidia driver needed, must be running):

CPU {cpu}  {cputemp}   |  GPU {nvgpu}  {nvgputemp}  |  MEM {mem}  |  SWAP {swap}  |  Net Speed Compact {netcomp}  |  Total Net Speed {totalnet}

Indicator-SysMonitor

An Application Indicator showing cpu temperature, memory, network speed, cpu usage, public IP address and internet connection status .

Works with Unity, Xubuntu, Gnome-Shell + app-indicator extension together with any other desktop environments that support AppIndicators.

Also works with the Budgie-Desktop

Offers the possibility to run your own command and display its output.

---

Custom scripts

Create your own scripts (for example in bash). Give the script execute permission (chmod +x scriptname)

A script must output one line of text - e.g. using "echo" in bash

The indicator can change the icon being displayed by recognising the output of a sensor "USE_ICON:full_path_to_.svg"

Set the display order of the indicator

To force the indicator to appear on the left-side of all indicators you must use a override file as described here:

• http://askubuntu.com/questions/26114/is-it-possible-to-change-the-order-of-icons-in-the-indicator-applet

indicator-sysmonitor's Issues

combination of cpu mem and temp causes system freezes in budge-desktop

as above - reported by Poli - need to reproduce.

refactor project to make it more maintainable and to easily add more sensors

The project, whilst small is not very maintainable - everything in one module, coded GUI causing bloat, very little in terms of comments and sensors seemingly randomly coded.

To streamline the indicator_sysmonitor file will be split into 3

• indicator-sysmonitor - this will just be the app-indicator itself
• preferences.py - this will be the preferences GUI
• sensors.py - this will be the sensors code itself

I will reduce the preferences code by moving this to an easier to maintain UI glade file.

Will worry about individually refactoring each sensor to separate bash scripts in a later issue - for now, just move code around to pull similar code together.

This will all be done in a "refactor" branch.

Custom command not working

I uses custom commands to run in indicator-sysmonitor. I am able to execute simple cusom commands like

sensor: simple
description: Simple command
command: echo simple

but when i tried save complex command like this

sensor: complex
description: complex command
command: id=45; if [ $id -ge 30 ]; then echo Successful; echo $id; else echo fail; echo $id; fi

its showing this error

"Sensor not supported" error

any idea how to solve this error

Clickable results label:enhancement

What do you think about adding a way to add a second script name that runs when you click or right-click the indicator? Then you could have your scripts not only generate the proper warnings and such, but you could launch the correct tool to manually fix the issue with a click.

Network Traffic

B/s isn't shown
KB/s should be kB/s I believe depending on if you're measuring kbits/ or kbytes/s.
Add option for removing /sec or changing it to /s

Any way to fetch local weather and temperature

Do you have any script which can be used to fetch local weather and temperature of a location and display it in indicator-sysmonitor

Memory stats wildly inaccurate on Ubuntu 15.10 beta 2

Hi there

I recently tried out Ubuntu 15.10 beta 2. The memory indicator is way off, stating that I am using 90% of my RAM where System Monitor shows that I am in fact only using 31% of my RAM.

I searched the issues, but could not find anything regarding this issue.

support displaying icons

At the moment the indicator just displays the output of a string.

If a sensor itself outputs "USE_ICON:full_path_to.svg" we should add/change the icon

display indicator text in different colours

Wish list from #9

Lets examine what is required to allow the displayed label to be output in different colours.

This will allow custom sensors to display "alerts" say in red whereas standard stuff in white and information in blue as per the messaging app indicator.

JSON file location

Hi,

This is more like a suggestion rather than an issue, but can indicator store its JSON with settings in different directory than $HOME? Preferably $HOME/.config or $HOME/.cache

And while we are on this, why are those paths different?

./sensors.py:52: SETTINGS_FILE = os.getenv("HOME") + '/.indicator-sysmonitor.json'

./preferences.py:222: SETTINGS_FILE = os.getenv("HOME") + '/.cache/indicator-sysmonitor/preferences.json'

ticker based wakeup

at the moment there is one field that is used to wakeup the next sweep of sensors. This doesnt work too well with sensors that dont need to run at the sweep time e.g. ipaddress sensor

It would be better to have a one second timer - every sensor then can have a either a defined "number of seconds to wakeup" or use the one default field to wakeup.

Doing it this way opens up the way for every sensor (inbuilt and also user defined) to have a "use default" checkbox / own "number of seconds to wakeup" value.

{cpu1} displays 0% all the time. label:bug

{cpu1} displays always 0% when set to display two cpu cores like this: {cpu0}{cpu1}

def _fetch_cpu(self, percpu=False):
    if percpu:
    return ps.cpu_percent(interval=0, percpu=True)

Here psutil.cpu_percent is called twice almost simultaneously which means time between the first call and the second call is too short to measure the {cpu1} utilization.

I suggest that provide an option like {cpuall} to display all the cpu cores and call the psutil.cpu_percent only once per update.

support displaying sensor values as menu labels in drop-down

now that we support icons lets have the ability to default the indicator to an icon and display the output of each sensor as separate menu labels when clicking the icon

Changes required. On preferences add a checkbox that says "use icon to display".

When checked - the current label line should be hidden. In its place should be a text box - every line on the text box corresponds to the menu label being displayed.

can we format the out put of {net} and other things?

for example, I'd like the {net} output be like "%3d/%2s", then the output will not be a dangler no matter what the digital and the unit is.
I find the output a little annoying when it change its length all the time, along with the icon before it.

"No output" warning in a successfully executed bash code

Hello again fossfreedom,
I have this issue (a minor one) when running a bash script with out any print output, indicator panel shows this error "(no output)" other than that the command is executing successfully.

For example

Sensor: {ex}
command: id=45; if [ $id -ge 30 ]; then echo ""; else echo ""; fi

shows this error in panel "(no output)"

How to remove "(no output)" error from panel for the executing bash code

module 'psutil' has no attribute 'network_io_counters'

Ubuntu 16.04

This pops up " module 'psutil' has no attribute 'network_io_counters' " when I tried to add "net" on the output.

I also change xenial to wily just to install it - http://ppa.launchpad.net/fossfreedom...monitor/ubuntu wily main

Preferences dialog too small

I didn't realise until later that there was more sensors to use.

Also when resizing the dialog box it seems to move up/left at a 45 degree angle.

How to make indicator-sysmonitor as a default indicator

The ubuntu 14.04 currently have at the top right corner these indicators shutdown,lock buttom, calender time details, battery details, Input format (english) as the default indicators. is it possible to make indicator-sysmonitor as one of those default indicators. Now what happens is only when we logged into a computer, indicator-sysmonitor will be shown and when you log out or lock our computer indicator-sysmonitor will automatically exit from panel. I know from experience in locked computers indicator-sysmonitor works in the background but will not show in the panel. I have some stats (include cpu,mem and some custom) which i want to see when i lock my computer.

can it be done?

cheers

refactor help stuff

The help text should perhaps need a bit of refactoring - each sensor should have an attribute describing the help - then the app indicator should just cycle through each sensor_instance to build up the text string.

refactor sensors

lets look to see the spread of sensor code amongst the modules.

There seems to be specific sensor output string manipulation in indicator_sysmonitor + the bulk in sensors.py. Doesnt make sense to have this in two places.

Help-page in sensors.py - this is really an app-indicator thing and should be moved - actually would make more sense to have a help-button in the preferences dialog where it would be more useful.

{net} option changes size constantly

while using {net} some times its 1/s sometimes its 10KB/s sometime its 100KB/s
which is causing the indicator changes size constantly and makes it painful to watch, is there some way to make it use a constant size? like i tried adding \t etc. but apparently it doesn't work.

Can't test or save my Preferences

When I press 'Test' button or 'Save' button the window with the following text appears:

Error

If you need more info please let me know.

Disk I/O activity affects net speed

Ubuntu 16.04

I just noticed that when I run a game from my non-OS drive, the net speed output seems to be affected. Resetting unity doesn't seem to fix the issue. Restarting the PC might fix it but I really want to know what bug is triggering this behavior.

Games installed on OS drive also run on internet so I can't test it
Also noticed it when verifying a 10GB .mkv on Transmission

Replace the ugly indicator icon with a hidden one

This bit of code was received via email:
replace

self.ind = appindicator.Indicator("indicator-sysmonitor", "gnome-system-monitor.svg", appindicator.CATEGORY_SYSTEM_SERVICES)

with

        SVG_FILE = os.getenv( "HOME" ) + "/" + "." + "indicator-
sysmonitor" + "-icon" + ".svg"
        with open( SVG_FILE, "w" ) as f:
            svg = ''
            f.write( svg )
            f.close()

  self.ind = appindicator.Indicator("indicator-sysmonitor", "." +
"indicator-sysmonitor" + "-icon", appindicator.CATEGORY_SYSTEM_SERVICES)

The icon is 22 x 1 because Ubuntu will stretch a 1 x 1!

That looks ok - probably better to open the SVG_FILE in /tmp rather than in the users home folder

Does not work in "System Tray" of lxpanel

Within lxpanel 0.8.2 (Lubuntu 16.04), the indicator-sysmonitor does not work correctly inside the "System Tray" plugin box -- a blank space is shown instead of the desired output. Other apps e.g. skype, indicator-cpufreq, nm-applet etc. display correctly. However, if instead of the "System Tray", the "Indicator Applets" is used, indicator-sysmonitor works fine (as a sanity check). Is it possible to fix it to make it cooperate with "System Tray"?

Add psutil v2 API support

I have submitted PR #37 which attempts to add psutil V2 API support while retaining V1 support via library version check. The reason I had to make this change is that psutil v3 apparently drops the V1 API backwards compatibility. I haven't tested this with psutil v1 or v2 - hopefully someone with an older system can do this?

update standard descriptions

from #4

this uses a .json file in the home folder.

Updates to the standard indicator descriptions such as the battery indicator description is not reflected here.

this is because, once created, it keeps rereading the duff values on startup and saved on each "save". We need a way to update this file with standard descriptions on startup.

Ubuntu 16.04 - AttributeError: module 'psutil' has no attribute 'NUM_CPUS'

Hello,

I get this error on Ubuntu 16.04: AttributeError: module 'psutil' has no attribute 'NUM_CPUS'

Rather talkative log

gnome-session is quite talkative in Ubuntu when using the online indicator, as 'if wget -O /dev/null google.com > /dev/null; then echo "☺"; else echo "☹"; fi' will still output wget's actions, maybe adding the quiet option would be better 'if wget -qO /dev/null google.com > /dev/null; then echo "☺"; else echo "☹"; fi'

display the CPU temperature

long - long time ago indicator-sysmonitor had a sensor to display the CPU temperature. That got removed before this fork.

Should be relatively straightforward to re-add this.

also - the temperature could exist in /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp so perhaps test both folders/files - if one of them doesnt exist then the other should (in theory)

indicator-sysmonitor freezes my amesomewm session

installed via ppa (0.7.0-1), I launch it, it displays a black space, so I tried to change the preferences adding "net {net}" and then clicking apply. It then freezed my deskop, could move the mouse but not change focus or type anything on the keyboard. Switched to tty and killed the python3 indicator-sysmonitor process and the desktop worked again.

Can provide debug information if needed.

standard sensors support is a hit and miss affair

running ./indicator_sysmonitor from a terminal, noticed that adding some standard sensors are reporting that they are not supported.

weird!
