Resource Monitor

Features

Display CPU frequency, usage, memory consumption, and battery percentage remaining within the VSCode status bar.

Requirements

Just the system information node module.

Extension Settings

• resmon.show.cpuusage: Show CPU Usage. In Windows, this percentage is calculated with processor time, which doesn't quite match the task manager figure.
• resmon.show.cpufreq: Show CPU Frequency. This may just display a static frequency on Windows.
• resmon.show.mem: Show consumed and total memory as a fraction.
• resmon.show.battery: Show battery percentage remaining.
• resmon.show.disk: Show disk space information.
• resmon.show.cputemp: Show CPU temperature. May not work without the lm-sensors module on Linux. May require running VS Code as admin on Windows.
• resmon.disk.format: Configures how the disk space is displayed (percentage remaining/used, absolute remaining, used out of totel).
• resmon.disk.drives: Drives to show. For example, 'C:' on Windows, and '/dev/sda1' on Linux.
• resmon.updatefrequencyms: How frequently to query systeminformation. The minimum is 200 ms as to prevent accidentally updating so fast as to freeze up your machine.
• resmon.freq.unit: Unit used for the CPU frequency (GHz-Hz).
• resmon.mem.unit: Unit used for the RAM consumption (GB-B).
• resmon.alignLeft: Toggles the alignment of the status bar.
• resmon.color: Color of the status bar text in hex code (for example, #FFFFFF is white). The color must be in the format #RRGGBB, using hex digits.

Known Issues

A better solution for Windows CPU Usage would be great. I investigated alternatives to counting Processor Time, but none of them seemed to match the Task Manager percentage.

• Added DiskSpace, CPU Temperature. Adjusted battery icon.

[1.0.5]

• Refactored code heavily, addressed Github issue with memory.used versus memory.active.

[1.0.4]

• Added icon for store.

[1.0.3]

• Changed icons. Added choosable units.

[1.0.2]

• Actually properly added systeminformation as a real dependency.

[1.0.1]

• Properly added systeminformation as a real dependency

[1.0.0]
