Feature Request: Panel plugins for monitoring system resources

[boustanihani]

Could you please offer some panel plugins for monitoring system resources like:

• CPU activity (Total/Per Core)
• RAM/SWAP usage
• Network activity (Download/Upload)
• Disk activity (Read/Write)

In my opinion, XFCE has some excelent ones (for inspiration): https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/ =>

• https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-systemload-plugin
• https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-netload-plugin
• https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-diskperf-plugin
• https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-cpugraph-plugin
• https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-sensors-plugin
• https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-hardware-monitor-plugin

Thumbs up but could those maybe be incorporated into Raven instead?

[boustanihani]

I hope so :)

Hi there ! Just wanted to add that it will be a very nice feature to have :)

[JoshStrobl]

Hey there, this is something that's planned for Budgie 11, but indeed in Raven instead of the panel. People are certainly welcome already to implement third-party Budgie applets that expose this functionality.

[AntoineMazuyer]

@JoshStrobl neat ! Thanks ! Side question a little bit off topic but is there any resources, guidelines and examples the community can consult to develop its applet and maybe propose them to the main repo?

EDIT : Found this https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop-examples/tree/master/c_project

https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor Can this satisfy your itch for system monitors? :smile:

@triorr Python support is likely being dropped in Budgie 11 and the applet hasn't seen changes in 2018. Something new, written in C or Vala, wouldn't hurt.
