Steroid Service

Hardware monitor web application made for Steroid, providing real time usage metrics from your PC to your wallpaper.

Features:

• CPU metrics and information.
• GPU details (Including Intel Integrated Graphics).
• Memory usage.
• Network names and usage.
• Hard Drives information and usage.

Requirements:

• .NET 4.7.X (Latest if possible)
• Python 3.8.X (Above will run with --pre version of pythonnet but might cause memory leaks)
• PIP

Installation:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

How to run:

Must run under Root/Administrator/System.

If not built with PyInstaller

    python ./steroid-service.py

If built or downloaded the latest release, you must open a terminal as Administrator in the steroid folder, and then:

    cd dist/steroid-service
    start steroid-service.exe

CTRL + C to exit.

Compile:

    pyinstaller steroid-service.spec --collect-data pythonnet

References:

Steroid service works as an internal web API hosted on http://localhost:7666, waiting for a GET method on these paths:

Endpoint	Return format
/cpu	Object Object
/gpu	Array Object
/network	Array Object
/memory	Object Object
/filesystem	Array Object

This service application can run both UAC enabled or disabled.

GPU is UNFISHED and needs AMD testers to provide console output.

Development Notes:

LibreHardwareMonitor sets it's own unique interface, and every hardware has it's own HardwareType and Name:

Hardware:

HardwareType	Name	Privileges
0	Motherboard	User
1	SuperIO	Admin
2	CPU	User
3	Memory	User
4	GpuNvidia	User
4	GpuAmd	User
4	GpuIntel	User
6	Storage	Admin
7	Network	User
?	Cooler	Admin
?	EmbeddedController	Admin
?	Psu	Admin
?	Battery	Admin

Hardware components marked as Admin are requested under Administrator privileges.

Sensors:

SensorType	Value	Format	Privileges
0	Voltage	V	Admin
1	Current	A	Admin
2	Power	W	User/Admin
3	Clock	Mhz	User/Admin
4	Temperature	°C	User/Admin
5	Load	%	User
6	Frequency	Hz	User
7	Fan	RPM	Admin
8	Flow	L/h	Admin
9	Control	%	User
10	Level	%	User
11	Factor	1	Admin
12	Data	GB	User
13	SmallData	MB	User
14	Throughput	B/s	User
15	TimeSpan	Seconds	User
16	Energy	mWh	Admin

User/Admin privileges means it is only available for Users under determined conditions, like the GPU.

Why not adding all the other features that LibreHardwareMonitor has?

Some features are too unstable or are not worth the effort, mostly considering that this is just a metrics provider and not ideal or suited for like, for example, fans frequency of the motherboard or PSU information provided by just a few power supplies.
