System Monitoring Center

Multi-featured system monitor.

Installation:

• System Monitoring Center is installable from PyPI as a Python package.
• Option-1) Installing for current user account: pip install system-monitoring-center
• Option-2) Installing for system-wide: sudo pip install system-monitoring-center (This method can be used for preventing source code modifications.)
• First run:
  • Run the application by using system-monitoring-center command.
  • The application will prepare shortcut and GUI images automatically.
  • If command is not found, restart the system and run the command again.
  • If images are not shown on the GUI, run touch ~/.local/share/* or restart the system.

Dependencies:

• These dependencies are already installed on many systems: bash, dmidecode, iproute2, python3 (>=3.6), python3-cairo, python3-gi, python3-gi-cairo, udev, util-linux
• Following dependencies may be required on some systems: for systems with .deb packages: libcairo2-dev, for Arch Linux: polkit

Updating:

• Run one of these commands to update the application:
  • If the application is installed for current user account: pip install --upgrade system-monitoring-center
  • If the application is installed for system-wide: sudo pip install --upgrade system-monitoring-center

  • Monitoring CPU, RAM, Disk, Network, GPU hardware information/performance/usage
  • Monitoring and managing processes, startup applications and services (systemd)
  • Monitoring users, sensors and general system information
• Supports PolicyKit. No need to run the application with "sudo"
• Hardware selection options (selecting different 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
• Language support:
  • Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, English, Polish, Turkish
  • More languages will be added if translations are provided by contributors

Notes:

• GPU usage information availability depends on vendor/driver.
• GPU load is not tracked if GPU tab is switched off (for lower CPU usage).
• Some virtual machines does not provide CPU min-max frequencies, sensors and RAM hardware information.
