How to observe system components' usage in Ubuntu 13.10 via System Load Indicator
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
[System Load Indicator][1] is a lightweight yet powerful and handy manner of displaying the user's usage of system components on the easiness of the Unity panel.
|
|
|
|
Basically, System Load Indicator is an appindicator located on the Unity panel that exposes graphs for relevant computer components, such as **CPU**, **RAM**, swap, harddisk, network traffic, etc, permitting a hassle-free observation of the usage of the mentioned components in real time.
|
|
|
|
System Load Indicator does not require additional efforts or configuration, directly,--after its launch--, presenting the graphs on the Unity panel.
|
|
|
|
Installing and launching `System Load Indicator` (via the Dash by typing system load indicator in the search area), pushes a single block on the Unity panel, block housing constantly-updated graphs of CPU, component monitored and displayed accordingly by default.
|
|
|
|
Yet, clicking on `System Load Indicator appindicator-->Preferences` summons a window from where other components can be 1-click away enabled; meaning, (for example) checking `Memory` and `Harddisk`, adds two new blocks on the Unity panel, thus there are now three components monitored by System Load Indicator: CPU, RAM and harddisk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under Colors, the user is able to select custom colors for the graphs-enabled blocks, meaning, changing the blue and dark colors to green and orange, renders the CPU's block with green and orange.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moreover, System Load Indicator pairs its visual-based monitoring with accurate text-based values, clicking on System Load Indicator appindicator, opens its menu where the user is to digest the accurate text-based values of monitored components, values updated in real time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recently, Ubuntu 13.10 was released, version containing System Load Indicator in its Ubuntu Software Center, permitting to the user to easily install the versatile tool.
|
|
|
|
System Load Indicator 0.3 is [available][2] via Ubuntu 13.10's Ubuntu Software Center (Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 14.04, too).
