Hardware Monitor is a multi-purpose, beautiful system-monitoring applet.

The Hardware Monitor applet is an applet for the GNOME panel which tries to be a beautiful all-around solution to system monitoring. It also strives to be user-friendly and generally nice and sensible, integrating pleasantly with the rest of your GNOME desktop.

Includes different viewers, including a flame effect, allows multiple devices to be monitored in the samme applet, uses smooth updating, polished graphs, clean HIG-compliant interface.

Here are some key features of "Hardware Monitor":

� A graphical view where each monitor is represented by a (time, measurement) colored curve
� A bar-plot view with a horizontal bar per monitor
� A column view with a column (time, measurement) diagram for each monitor
� A textual view which simply lists the monitors and the currently measured values
� A flame view which produces spiffy flames, the sizes of which are determined by the values of the monitored device

And the applet supports monitoring the following hardware characteristics:

� CPU usage (all CPUs, or one at the time) - nice'd background processes such as SETI@home are automatically ignored
� Memory usage - cache and buffers are automatically ignored
� Swap usage
� Load average
� Disk usage (or disk space free)
� Network throughput (Ethernet, wireless, modem, serial link), either incoming or outgoing or both
� Temperatures from internal sensors (e.g. system board and CPU temperatures)
� Fan speeds from internal sensors
