Awesome

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:

Installation - Budgie-Desktop:

On budgie-desktop based installation - manual installation

sudo apt-get install python3-psutil curl git
git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor.git
cd indicator-sysmonitor
sudo make installbudgie
budgie-panel --replace &

Then use Raven to add the "Panel Sys Monitor" applet

Installation - App Indicator based desktops:

On Ubuntu and derivatives - manual installation

sudo apt-get install python3-psutil curl git gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1
git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor.git
cd indicator-sysmonitor
sudo make install
nohup indicator-sysmonitor &

To remove:

cd indicator-sysmonitor
sudo make uninstall

To install the AppIndicator via PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-sysmonitor

Search in the dash for "indicator-sysmonitor" to run
