sysmon's Introduction

Linux activity monitor

Key Features • Getting Started

Key features

Graphical visualization of the following data:

CPU utilization and per core clock speed
GPU utilization and clock speed (so far only Nvidia). Should work with multiple GPUs (not tested)
Memory and Swap utilization
Network utilization (Wlan and Ethernet). Wlan link bandwidth is constantly updated.
HDD/SSD utilization.

You can also see an overview of running processes.

Getting Started

I wanted to have a graphical visualization of the load of most physical devices. The system monitor in ubuntu does a great job, but is not displaying HDD and SDD load as well as no GPU load. This tools brings all the information together to one place, similar to task manager in windows.

1. Installation and run

Just simply

pip install sysmon

To run the program, just simply run in your cmd line

sysmon

If you want to monitor your Nvidia GPU, nvidia-smi has to be installed.

Probably you want some shortcut, you can do this with alacarte.

2. Data origin

Most data comes from the /proc directory.

In more detail:

CPU: /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/stat
Memory: /proc/meminfo
Disks: /proc/diskstats
Network: /proc/net/dev and iwconfig(Wlan)
GPU: nvidia-smi (if Nvidia GPU)
Processes: 'ps -aux'

I this choice of data source makes the program usable across multiple linux distributions. (Only tested on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04)

3. To do

Include support for Intel and AMD GPUs. I don't have any of these GPUs, so unfortunately I can't test it. Maybe I can get my hands on any of these GPUs in the future.
Add more information about Wlan connection. (Signal strength etc.)
Maybe add public and private IP address somewhere
Add more GPU information (Process overview)
Add GUI menu to modify parameters such as update interval, capture period etc.
Add iowait for each CPU core
Add more detailed Memory information (buffer and cache)
CPU clock: Sometimes clock for threads on same physical core differ --> I think this is in reality not possible. Maybe calculate average per physical core. Also group threads belonging to the same physical core together and "bond" visually.
Add dark mode
Make a C/C++ port (probably lower hardware requirements, even though CPU load is low.)
Remove Swap entry if no swap is used
Remove 'ps -aux' references
Add kill button and sort

Network usage breakdown

Looks like a great start!

My two cents:
Something that is currently missing from all GUI system monitors in Linux (but exists at a limited level in Win10) - a real, working and useful network usage breakdown:

Per process (matching the current process list)
Per process group (e.g., container)
Per connection target (e.g., "facebook.com")

Also, a display of all registered sockets/handles (lsof style) in their current state, broken down to process or target, would be very useful.

Dark Mode

Don't want to overload you with issues, this is of course not a priority - but sysmon kinda sticks out as super-bright among all my other dark windows :D A dark grey / blackish background with white text and yellow / beige graphs or something similar would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Add option to hide a network adapter or disks

Hi!

I wanted to ask if you could add an option to hide a network adapter or a disks in the "Network/Disks" tab.

I'm asking this because I have 3 network adapters and 3 disks in my machine, and displaying a graph for each one takes a lot of space, to the point that it is unusable.

Screenshot (note that the window is maximized):

I suggest adding a checkbox next to each device name, this could toggle the graph's visibility.

Thanks! And very cool app!

README Spelling Errors

nviida-smi should be nvidia-smi

Incorrect display of wlan speeds over 1000 mbit

First of, great tool!

Onto the issue:
When the wifi speed is under 1 gbit/s it shows correctly as (let's say) 864.6 Mbit/s
When the wifi speed is over 1 gbit/s either the decimal point is misplaced, or the unit doesn't get updated from Mbit to Gbit: 1.0887 Mbit/s

Also, but I'm unsure if that's correct or not, the speed value displayed is only the "tx" value. The "rx" is ignored.
for example from the 864.6 Mbit speed screenshot, iw wlan0 link:
rx bitrate: 1253.9 MBit/s 160MHz HE-MCS 6 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0
tx bitrate: 864.8 MBit/s 160MHz HE-MCS 8 HE-NSS 1 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0

Needs a nice app icon

It works great on Ubuntu 20.04.1, although it could use a nice app icon:

Doesn't work on Ubuntu 20.04.1

Seems like some kind of problem with the GPU portion? I have Ubuntu 20.04.1 with NVIDIA 450.66, Python 3.8.2.

update readme.md

pip command is not working in ubuntu if someone is using python 3 for that readme.md should be updated for Python 3 (pip3)

Clarify dependency on nvidia-smi for Nvidia GPUs

It should be mentioned in the README.md that if you had an Nvidia GPU you will need nvidia-smi.

On Debian you'd install that with sudo apt install nvidia-smi

Unclear licensing terms

Perhaps it's still preliminary, but as things stand now it would be impossible to package and distribute this application.

cpufreq depends on scheduler

Not sure how you want to handle it but scaling_cur_freq is not guaranteed to exist. When it doesn't the console scrolls with errors

cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq: No such file or directory
cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq: No such file or directory
cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq: No such file or directory

Using acpi_idle for example:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_driver:acpi_idle
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor_ro:menu

s'pose as a fallback you could parse cpuinfo, kinda messy either way.
