Gathering ALL System Data

[cluelessgenius]

hey guys i really dont know where to put this so if someone knows a better place for it feel free

 

to the point

im working on my sidepanel display and wanted to make a list of what system data would be cool to visualize

whether or not or how i get that data is irrelevant - right now im just trying to make a list of what data there is about a system

 

here is my list and im posting this to see if anyone has any other ideas for properties i might have missed

 

CPU

 - voltage

 - temperature

 - clockspeed

 - usage

 - PER CORE individually

    - temperature (if available)

    - clockspeed

    - usage

 

RAM

 - usage

 

MOTHERBOARD

 - VRM temperature

 

GPU

 - voltage

 - temperature

 - core clock

 - memory clock

 - usage

 

per HDD / SDD

 - temperature

 - usage

 - write actvity

 - read activity

 

NETWORK

 - traffic up

 - traffic down

 

WATERCOOLING

 - pump speed

 - water temperature

 - fan speed

 

OTHER

 - forum / youtube / whatsapp / missed calls notifications

 - weather

Check out rainmeter. You can probably find a skin for each of these.

Also, maybe the weather/news headlines.

VRM temps?

Ethernet/WiFi data in/out?

yeah rainmeter doesnt work on iot and only gives you the data of that system what im doing is reading it off the main system then sending it to a pi running iot and that then displays the data in some cool animated way i havent yet implemented

Is it one of those fancy translucent window panel or solid display as the panel?

And I suppose it'll be placed on the table for easy viewing?

fancy? no since im doing it the execution is gonna be "not as clean" as maybe a production model from ibuypower or something but translucent? yes i have the panel ready just not yet integrated into the sidepanel

and yes itll be on the desk

VRM temp is a good idea thanks ill see if i can actually get it somehow but its definitly on the list

Network activity is also a good point ill have alook into avm maybe i could even get network activity of other devices on the network

If you are looking for software that gives you base to work on, HWiNFO64 is the one for all system data.

ELK works well. Or just the EL part and feed it into a pretty interface like grafana.

Ofc that requires some work, but it's pretty fun to play around with

thanks ill check it out but im using whatever gives me the values im looking for. right now thats a mix of system performance counters and openhardwaremonitor library

im sorry but with generic names like that i thinkn i might need a more specific link ?

Lol sorry. ELK = Elasticsearch, logstash, kibana. 3 tools that are most often combined to provide a fairly powerful monitoring/logging tool.

Grafana is here: https://grafana.com/

You can use a variety of logging/monitoring tools to feed data into it, and the interface is IMO prettier than kibana, and would probably serve you better for the kind of monitoring you want. But it also probably would take up more resources.

very interesting stuff thanks ill look into it but i might still do stuff myself and go for a more custom look if you know what i mean i just really like using templates but ill definitly have a look into grafana looks pretty good.

no worries. this stuff is mostly what I use for server monitoring rather than home stuff, but it CAN do that well, so thought I'd at least throw em out there as potential solutions. GL with your endeavours.
