Needed

Greetings,

Your system looks really great. Thanks!!

However, there are two things I need that would make the tool most useful for me. Perhaps others feel the same. They are:

  1. Disk throughput - how busy are my disks

  2. CPU temperature - how much stress are my CPU's under

I wrote my own crude facility and find those two are most meaningful to me. (I used the Linux commands "sensors" and "iostat".)

Often when I start a Windows VM, the VM is very sluggish. By watching the disk throughput I can tell when the system has settled down and I can start using it.

Although all of the numbers you provide are meaningful and needed, knowing the CPU temp tells me how much stress my system is under. I know when my laptop fans take off that there is some stress, but I'd like to know how much and when it is becoming critical.

Thank you!

Blake McBride
