System/Activity Monitor with Processing
Nov 12th, 2009, 9:07am  
I was wondering if anyone has heard of or knows of a Processing library that can monitor different computer specs such as cpu load, memory usage, disk usage, etc. Hoping to use this data to create a visualization in Processing. Thanks!

have a look at Sigar API ( support.hyperic.com/display/SIGAR/Home )

it's not a processing library but tried adding it like one and seems to work

tried some quick code:

Code:
import org.hyperic.jni.*;
import org.hyperic.sigar.*;

Sigar sigar;
Mem mem;

void setup(){
  sigar = new Sigar();
  mem = new Mem();
  size(1024,768);
  noLoop();
}

void draw() {

}

void mousePressed() {
  try {
    mem = sigar.getMem();
  } 
  catch (SigarException se) {
    se.printStackTrace();
  }

  println( "Total system Memory: "+ sigar.formatSize( mem.getTotal() ) ); // use formatSize for human readable string
  println( "Used: "+ mem.getUsed() ); // in raw long format
  println( mem.toString() );  // or in one string available/used/free

}
