Translations: Czech | German | English | Français | Hungarian | Persian | Polish | Portuguese (Brazilian) | Portuguese (Portugal) | Russian | Spanish | Turkish | Notes for translators

Features:

• Detailed system performance and usage usage monitoring/managing features:
  • Monitoring CPU, RAM, Disk, Network, GPU hardware/usage information
  • Monitoring and managing processes and services (systemd)
  • Monitoring users, sensors and general system information
• Supports PolicyKit. No need to run the application with "sudo"
• Hardware selection options (selecting CPU cores, disks, network cards, GPUs)
• Plotting performance data of multiple devices at the same time
• Interactive charts for querying performance data on any point
• Option for showing processes as tree or list
• Optimized for low CPU usage and fast start
• Supports ARM architecture
• Free and open source

Installation:

• There are several options for using System Monitoring Center:
  • Installing from PyPI as a Python package. There will be no new packages on PyPI (Details).
  • Installing from Flatpak (Details).
  • Installing from several application stores (Pardus Application Center, Pi-Apps Store).
  • Installing from repositories of distributions (currently a few distributions).
  • Running from source code (in src/ folder, run: python3 ./run_from_source.py).
    • For SMC v1.x.x, in src/ folder, run: python3 ./Main.py.

- Note: System Monitoring Center v2.x.x is only available for Flatpak and ArchLinux (AUR).

Notes:

• GPU usage information availability depends on vendor/driver.
• GPU load is not tracked if GPU tab is switched off (for lower CPU usage).
• Virtual machines may not provide CPU min-max frequencies, sensors and RAM hardware information.
• Non-Flatpak versions of the application has higher performance (start speed, CPU, RAM usage).
• GTK4 (used for SMC v2) uses about 2x RAM when compared to GTK3 (used for SMC v1).
