Additional metrics for the puter task manager

[sashpawar11]

I ran across the puter task manager and its implementation. Would love to know some ideas / ways we can add additional metrics in the task manager for processes ( i.e apps)

• Is it possible to add any additional metrics for the processes such as memory usage, cpu usage, network usage ( if we do track it)

• We can also try adding a puter system-level performance metric panel section in the taskmanager itself:

  • This section can have graphs for system level metrics - disk(storage) usage, memory usage, cpu usage, network usage and more (assuming these metrics or some of them are relevant).

• Also a minor UI overhaul to show the icons next to the taskmanager items would be a nice touch

Adding some inspiration below taken from KDE Plasma System Monitor GUI:

Hey @KernelDeimos - would love your inputs on this! And I would also like to take this on if we decide to proceed forward.
Thankyou

Most of what you described is not measured but there are some things we can measure. I think these metrics would be useful:

• how much data or how many objects an app has sent/received via postMessage
• network traffic via Wisp relay
• filesystem inbound/outbound

I know there's a library called stats.js which may be useful for visualizing.

Awesome - will have a look at the library and try to get a day0 PR for this done. Thanks for the pointers.

@sashpawar11 are you still working on this?

[sashpawar11]

@KernelDeimos - Hey, I am working on it. Been busy with some priorities, will try to get a PR soon. If it takes longer I will update here so that it can be picked up by others.

@KernelDeimos - Hey, I might not be able to give time to it currently, please reassign to others if anyone would like to pick this up.
Thanks
