Ubuntu :: LXDE CPU Usage Monitor?
Nov 14, 2010
By default, it displays the LXDE CPU Usage Monitor at the bottom. Does this monitor actually use CPU resources itself, and if so, would it be recommended to remove it from the panel on a slower system?
This is on an AMD K6-2 system (500 MHz) with 640Mb of PC-100 memory (circa 2001). By itself, the system is better than average when using LXDE, but I have noticed that when the system is checking for updates or when it is printing something, the usage monitor essentially displays 100% CPU usage until the updater or printer finishes, as the case may be. It will also indicate 100% usage when the web browser is loading in a web page.

Is there any way to monitor one process' CPU usage and RAM usage over time on Linux? I am trying to change to a cheaper VPS and need to work out what level of CPU and RAM I need!

I managed to install Jessie on my new Lenovo Ideapad 100 and have been trying to put the finishing touches on it. I downloaded FDPowermonitor and the icon showed up right away. Then after a few minutes it went away and hasn't shown back up.
I think I need to modify /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart to include @fdpowermon but I cannot figure out how to have the permission and use a editor I understand.
I just log into LXDE with root... but there has got to be a better way yes? But that didn't work anyway...

quite often my computer will slow down, and all the cpu indicators will show 100%. However, when I open System Monitor to see what is using all the CPU, it doesn't show anything much at all. I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean. CPU is running at 91% load, however, I make the total 35% in system monitor.

I am having a slight issue with my netbook (toshiba nb305) Just fully switched to Ubuntu 10.10 from Windows 7 starter so still a little new. I first installed the 32 bit version and everything was all sorts of peachy. But while reading some documentation on my model I ran across a cryptic line that hinted at my cpu being 64 bit. Did a little research on these forums and ran a command in terminal (honestly cant remember it) that listed the specs on my hardware. Sure enough my "width" was listed as 64 bit.
Well just to give it a shot I Downloaded the 64 bit version of 10.10 and Installed it on another partition. Up and running checked over everything. Appears to be normal. But on a whim I went into the System Monitor and noticed not one cpu but 2? Confirmed same situation on 32 bit.
Processor 0: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66 GHz
Processor 1: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66 GHz
Ok I was a tad bit confused so I was about to do a lil research on it. But then I noticed on the Resources tab that under 64 bit my CPU History graph showed both processors Pegged at 100% With nothing running except for the basics. Under the 32 bit it was reliantly low? I checked the Processes tab in both to confirm there wasnt a unusual process out there jamming up cpu usage but the highest cup listed was the gnome-system-monitor at like 40 est %. Nothing showing up using the CPU that vigorously.

Transmission seems to cause a kernel panic when I try to use it. Using system monitor to watch cpu usage, as soon as I fire up transmission, the cpu usage spikes to 99 and 100 percent and the transmission window grays out. I set firestarter to allow bit torrent usage, I was wondering if there was something else I needed to do or if transmission was broken. I am running an Athalon 3200 on an MSI motherboard with 2 gigs of ram.

I live in the boonies, so I have satellite internet. It's not too bad, but I'm restricted to 200 mb's of download per day.
I'm looking for an app that will keep track of my usage, so I don't go over 200. I was using "System Monitor", but it's a little buggy, so I'd like to try something else.

I had been running Folding@Home as a distinct process when I was running Windows - I'd manually start and stop it. (This was intentional.) I just installed it on my Ubuntu 10.04 install, and it's running just fine.
The only thing that's strange is that while top and the System Monitor report the CPU usage correctly, the Hardware Monitor applet (1.4.2) isn't reporting the usage at all.
As I said, it's an annoyance, nothing more - the applet reports other CPU usage accurately, and Folding@Home runs smoothly and perfectly.
Gnome's Hardware Monitor applet (1.4.2), the one with "curves" and "flames", apparently displays both "user" and "system" processes. Processes marked "nice" (that is, only running when the machine is idle) do not appear as CPU usage. They do appear as CPU usage in the System Monitor applet.

I'm doubtful about my Ubuntu's ram usage, as I'm getting different values in top and System Monitor:
System monitor:
Top:
What could be causing this? What should I trust, Sysmonitor or top?

in this example, my memory 993.4 MiB memory is said to have 575.9 MiB of it used and 163.4MiB of my 2.8 GiB swap memory used. but in my processes tab, the most memory hogging program is 98.3 MiB, and Pidgin, 25.9 MiB, and 18.9 MiB, 14.9, 6.2,6.1,5.2,3.4,3.3,1.8,1.8,1.7, etc. I'm certain these don't add up to 575.9 MiB so where is all this extra memory usage coming from?
also, why is data measured in MiB?

Is there something which can act as a fully fledged proxy (exactly like squid) but which can also monitor data usage?
At the moment what I do is I log data usage of IP addresses (allocated by DHCP) by using IPFM. Obviously getting a new IP address from a DHCP server isn't hard and this could be abused.
So I was thinking if I require proxy authentication and log usage that way, there is no way for anyone to abuse the system.
Does anyone know of a proxy server capable of logging data usage?

I'm monitoring all kind of things like ( Mem, network, cpu, IOPS,..) But still not found a command where i can see the CPU usage but in MHZ ( or Hz). Using top or looking into /proc/cpuinfo doesn't give me the info i want.

I'm using ubuntu 11.04 and have a DSL connection straight from my local telephone (landline) provider.I need a ubuntu app, preferably a daemon/service (that I can start up on boot) that, in essence, can simply log to a file, on a per session basis (with timestamps of course), the bandwidth I use (download + upload bytes).
I'm not interested in logging site info etc., just want raw data usage so at the end of the month I can run some summary reports on it.Basically I was to see if my ISP is cheating me or not (and in general to control myself on my HUGE ..... + ISO download habbits)..I need nothing fancy, even a basic command will do in which case i'll be happy to write my own basj script for that...

I have a question. I want to monitor
- CPU usage daily
- RAM usage daily
- Harddisk Space
- top processes
- hardware failure
What commands do I need to run to output the result to a log file? I know there are solutions both paid and free, but my company does not allow. they want linux built in commands or methods to do it. I do not know bash scripting. I know some commands like "df -h" to monitor harddisk space but not sure on the other stuffs.

running top shows:
Tasks: 165 total, 1 running, 164 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 3.5%us, 2.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 93.9%id, 0.5%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 3721884k total, 3376604k used, 345280k free, 107524k buffers
Swap: 3855356k total, 40k used, 3855316k free, 2013536k cached
but System Monitor tells me that only 33.9% (1.2gb of 3.5gb) is being used. Why is the memory used difference so great?

I'm looking for a simple way to monitor and log my internet bandwidth usage. Not total network device usage, just internet usage.Something that provides a simple chart of daily, monthly, and yearly usage, but ignoring all bandwidth on my internal LAN.I notice several possible tools, such as vnstat, ntop, iftop. Yet all of them seem focused on tracking the entire network interface. I want to ignore LAN usage. I do not really care about LAN bandwidth.iftop seems intended only for on-the-fly usage and not cumulative logging. I can't tell whether vnstat or ntop can be configured to log only internet usage rather than all traffic through the network device.
I do not want to log every connection like squid. The utility should only log stats on a daily basis, but also be able to display cumulative totals from those daily entries.I don't need DNS resolution, port monitoring, etc.I prefer something that runs in the background as a service or daemon, but can provide statistics quickly with a terminal window. All I want is to view total daily, monthly, and yearly internet usage. Perhaps even pipe the output to a local email each day too.

I'm on Comcast (insert vomit sound here) and they have a 250GB monthly limit. I don't think I'm remotely close to this on a normal month and want to figure out if I could perhaps squeak by with the 5GB limit imposed by Verizon's 3G wireless broadband.
I'm ideally looking for a quick easy-to-use GUI application, rather than something that's done via the command line.
I thought perhaps I could look in my Account and find a nice "You've used X percent of 250 GB thus far" window. Then I called, but Comcast couldn't tell me. They just borked me off to some Windoze application 3rd party which I'm supposed to install.
I run Skype and occasionally download Fedora iso images and so on. Rarely am I doing more than surfing the web, chatting, and sending emails. I doubt I'm even close to 250GBs but I'm guessing that 5GB will end up being problematic.
Are there any programs that will keep track of how much bandwidth I'm using? It'd be great to have an application that runs there in the taskbar and just shows a graph of how much I've used thus far.
