Plugin

  • Id: tmelik/system-monitor
  • New plugin
  • Update to an existing plugin (version bumped in plugin.toml)

What it does

System Monitor combines CPU usage and temperature, RAM, swap, disk utilization, and aggregate network rates in one compact bar capsule. Users can independently toggle every metric, category separators, the detailed tooltip, network-unit style, and the monitored disk path.

External dependencies

None. The plugin only reads snapshots exposed by Noctalia's systemStats() and diskStats() APIs. It does not access the network, spawn processes, or write files.

Testing

  • Tested on Niri
  • Tested on Hyprland
  • Tested on Sway
  • Tested on another compositor:
  • Noctalia version tested against: 5.0.0_beta.9-3
  • Plugin API level: 16

Tested the local tmelik/system-monitor plugin with all seven default metrics, the settings page, category separators, compact network units, the root disk path, and the Control Center action. Also exercised the all-metrics-disabled state with separators and tooltip disabled, explicit network units, and /tmp as the disk path, then restored defaults. The upstream manifest validator and its unit tests pass locally.

Checklist

  • The directory name matches the part of id after the / in plugin.toml exactly.
  • It ships plugin.toml, README.md, thumbnail.webp, and translations/en.json.
  • README.md follows the README template, documents every entry id and dependency, and includes exact panel IPC commands and launcher prefixes where applicable.
  • I created thumbnail.webp with the thumbnail generator.
  • version follows semver and is bumped in this PR; plugin_api is the oldest API level this plugin requires.
  • Every non-English translation in this PR uses a locale supported by Noctalia core, and I can read, write, and understand that language well enough to review and maintain it (no unreviewed machine/LLM translations).
  • I did not edit catalog.toml; CI generates it.
  • This PR touches exactly one plugin directory.

Code review attestation

  • The code is readable and not obfuscated, minified, or generated.
  • It does not download and execute remote code.
  • Every network call, filesystem write, and spawned process is something the description above accounts for.
  • I have the right to publish this code under the license declared in plugin.toml.
