Resource Monitoring
TermiPy provides a powerful resource monitoring feature that allows you to track system resource usage in real-time. This guide will explain how to use the resource monitoring commands and interpret the output.
Using the Resource Monitoring Command
To start monitoring system resources, use the following command:
@termipy >> resourceor
@termipy >> statsUnderstanding the Output
The resource monitoring feature provides information on three key areas:
- System and Hardware Information
- Temperature and Battery
- Process and GPU Usage
System and Hardware Information
This section displays various system metrics, including:
- OS information
- CPU details
- Total RAM
- System uptime
- CPU Usage (color-coded)
- Memory Usage (color-coded)
- Available Memory
- Disk Usage (color-coded)
- Free Disk Space
- Network data sent and received
Example output:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ System and Hardware Information │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ OS: Windows │
│ CPU: 4 cores (8 threads) │
│ Total RAM: 16.00 GB │
│ Uptime: 2d 3h 45m 30s │
│ CPU Usage: 5.0% │
│ Memory Usage: 60.0% │
│ Available Memory: 6.40 GB │
│ Disk Usage: 75.0% │
│ Free Disk Space: 250.00 GB │
│ Network Sent: 100.50 MB │
│ Network Recv: 1024.75 MB │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Temperature and Battery
This section shows temperature information (if available) and battery status:
- CPU Temperature (if available)
- Battery percentage (if applicable)
- Power status
- Estimated battery time left (if applicable)
Example output:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Temperature and Battery │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ CPU Temp (coretemp): 45°C │
│ Battery: 80.0% │
│ Power Plugged: No │
│ Time Left: 3h 30m │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Process and GPU Usage
This section lists the top 5 CPU-consuming processes and GPU information (if available):
- Process ID (PID)
- Process Name
- CPU Usage Percentage
- GPU Name, Usage, Memory, and Temperature (if applicable)
Example output:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Process and GPU Usage │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Process 1: PID: 1234 Name: chrome.exe CPU: 10.5% │
│ Process 2: PID: 5678 Name: python.exe CPU: 5.2% │
│ Process 3: PID: 9101 Name: explorer.exe CPU: 2.1% │
│ Process 4: PID: 1122 Name: vscode.exe CPU: 1.8% │
│ Process 5: PID: 3344 Name: spotify.exe CPU: 1.5% │
│ GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 │
│ GPU 0 Usage: 30.0% │
│ GPU 0 Memory: 40.0% │
│ GPU 0 Temperature: 65°C │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Continuous Monitoring
The resource monitoring feature updates every 2 seconds, providing a near real-time view of your system’s resource usage. The display is refreshed automatically, clearing the screen and showing the latest information.
To stop the monitoring, press Ctrl+C. You’ll see a message confirming that the monitoring has stopped:
Stopped monitoring resource usage.Color Coding
The output uses color coding to help quickly identify resource usage levels:
- Green: Low usage (0-49%)
- Yellow: Moderate usage (50-79%)
- Red: High usage (80-100%)
For temperatures: - Green: Cool (< 60°C) - Yellow: Warm (60-79°C) - Red: Hot (≥ 80°C)
