SystemBuddy v2.0

SystemBuddy v2.0

SystemBuddy v2.0 introduces time-based data collection, evolving the project from a real-time system monitor into a structured system telemetry and data-generation tool.

What’s New in v2.0

• Time-bounded execution via --duration <seconds>
• Time-series CSV output for continuous data logging
• Time-series JSON output for structured data consumption
• Multiple execution modes:
  • Snapshot mode (--once)
  • Timed collection (--duration)
  • Live monitoring (default)
• Output streamed to stdout for scripting, piping, and automation
• Clean separation between data collection and output formatting

Use Cases

• Performance benchmarking over time
• Dataset generation for analysis tools (Python, Excel, Power BI)
• Scriptable system telemetry
• Automation and CI-style workflows
