Editor to share with you how to use the linux system performance monitoring tool KSysguard to monitor remote hosts, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

Default window for KDE System Guard

The front-end graphical interface uses a sensor (sensors) to obtain the information to be displayed. The sensor can return a simple numerical value or more complex information such as a table. One or more display interfaces are provided for different types of information. These display interfaces are organized in multiple worksheets, which can be stored and loaded independently.

The KSysguard main form includes a menu bar, a toolbar and status bar, a sensor browsing area, and a workspace. When you start for the first time, you can see the default interface: the native localhost is listed in the sensor browsing area, and there are two tags in the workspace.

Each sensor monitors a specific system value. All sensors can be dragged to the work area.

◆ removes and overrides sensors in the workspace

◆ edits worksheet properties to increase the number of rows and columns

◆ creates a new worksheet and puts the sensors you need

Workspace [Workspace]

The workspace in the following figure has two labels:

◆ system load, the default view when starting KSysguard for the first time.

◆ schedule

System load [System Load]

The system load worksheet has four sensor windows: CPU load, average load (1 minute), physical memory, and swap memory. Multiple sensors can be displayed in the same window. To see which sensors are displayed in the window, move the mouse over the graph and the corresponding description is displayed. You can also right-click Properties on the graph, and then click the Sensors tab (see image below). The corresponding colors of each sensor in the graph are also shown here.

Schedule [Process Table]

Click the Process Table tab to display information about all running processes in the server (below). By default, this table is sorted by system CPU usage, but you can also sort by clicking on different headers using the appropriate fields.

Set up a worksheet

You may need to use multiple different monitoring sensors for the environment or specific area you want to monitor. The best way is to create a custom worksheet.

In this section, we will guide you step by step in creating a worksheet.

1. Click File- > New to create an empty worksheet.

Properties of the new worksheet

two。 Enter the number of titles and rows; this will determine the maximum number of monitoring windows, four in our example. After filling in the information, click OK to create an empty worksheet, as shown in figure 2-11.

Note: the refresh interval is 2 seconds.

3. To add a sensor, simply drag the sensor from the left side of the window to the free area on the right. There are several types of display:

-Signal Plotter: this type can display one or more sensors simultaneously. If more than one sensor needs to be displayed, it will be marked with different colors. If the display is large enough, a grid is used to display the interval of the displayed data.

The automatic range mode [automatic range mode] is displayed by default, and the minimum and maximum values are set automatically. If you want to change the minimum and maximum values, you need to disable the auto-range mode, and then set the minimum and maximum values in the Scales tab of the Properties dialog box (right-click in the chart).

-Multimeter: displays the sensor's value digitally. You can define the upper and lower limits in the Properties dialog box. If the limit is exceeded, use a warning color display.

-BarGraph: displays the value of the sensor in a bar. You can define the upper and lower limits in the Properties dialog box. If the limit is exceeded, use a warning color display.

-Sensor Logger: no value is displayed, but the above information is recorded in a file along with the date and time.

For each sensor, you must define a log file, the interval time recorded by the sensor and whether an alarm is required.

4. Click File- > Save to save the worksheet

Note: save the worksheet, it will be stored in the user's home directory, other administrators will not be able to access your custom worksheet.
