System Monitor

A simple, real-time system monitoring dashboard built with Go, raylib-go for rendering, and gopsutil for metrics collection.

This application provides a clean, visual overview of key system resources, including CPU, memory, disk, and network activity.

This project was created for learning purposes, as a way to explore Go programming and practice working with system metrics and graphics.

Features

• CPU Monitoring:
  • Real-time usage percentage displayed with a visual bar graph.
  • Current CPU frequency.
• Memory Monitoring:
  • Real-time memory usage percentage with a visual bar graph.
  • Displays used vs. total available RAM.
  • Displays used vs. total available Swap memory.
• Disk Monitoring:
  • Primary disk usage percentage with a visual bar graph.
  • Displays used vs. total available disk space.
• Network Monitoring:
  • Live upload and download speed (KB/s).
  • Real-time line graphs showing the last 60 seconds of network activity.
  • Displays current speed and peak speed within the historical window.
  • Total data sent and received since system startup.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Go: Version 1.18 or later.
• A C Compiler: raylib is a C library, so a compiler like GCC or Clang is required for the bindings to work.
  • On Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install build-essential
  • On Fedora/RHEL: sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
  • On macOS: Install Xcode Command Line Tools.
  • On Windows: Install MinGW-w64 or TDM-GCC.
• raylib System Dependencies: Follow the installation instructions for your OS on the raylib-go page.

Installation & Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [https://github.com/your-username/system-monitor.git](https://github.com/DiegoAndradeD/system-monitor)
   cd system-monitor

2. Tidy the dependencies: Go will automatically fetch the required packages (raylib-go and gopsutil).

   go mod tidy

3. Run the application:

   go run cmd/monitor/main.go  

   The application window should appear, displaying your system's metrics in real-time.

Built With

• Go - The programming language used.
• raylib-go - For creating the graphical user interface.
• gopsutil - For cross-platform system metrics collection.
