About
A multi-featured, low-resource system monitor that lets you easily track and manage CPU, RAM, disk, network, and GPU usage
Features:
- Detailed system performance and usage usage monitoring/managing features
- Monitoring CPU, RAM, Disk, Network, GPU hardware/usage information
- Monitoring and managing processes and services (systemd)
- Monitoring users, sensors and general system information
- Supports PolicyKit. No need to run the application with "sudo"
- Hardware selection options (selecting CPU cores, disks, network cards, GPUs)
- Plotting performance data of multiple devices at the same time
- Interactive charts for querying performance data on any point
- Option for showing processes as tree or list
- Optimized for low CPU usage
- Customization menus for almost all tabs
- Supports ARM architecture
- Free and open source
Notes for Limitations:
- GPU usage information availability depends on vendor/driver.
- GPU load is not tracked if GPU tab is switched off (for lower CPU usage).
- Virtual machines may not provide CPU min-max frequencies, sensors and RAM hardware information.
- Non-Flatpak versions of the application has higher performance (start speed, CPU, RAM usage).
Notes for Flatpak Support:
- Flatpak version of the application uses some permissions (like not sandboxed) to access performance/system information of the host OS.
- Flatpak package of the application may be installed for system-wide instead of user-specific for avoiding source code modifications.
Permissions
3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.
- all devices (/dev): webcams, disks, raw hardware
--device=all - sandbox escape: can run commands on the host via flatpak-spawn
--talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak - X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
--socket=x11 - network
--share=network - inter-process communication (needed for X11)
--share=ipc
