LH_MonitoringLatest Version: v1.05
For new users:LH_Monitoring is a plugin that will connect to a running instance of one of nine (ok, eight and a half) different 3rd party monitoring applications and allow you to display the sensor data they monitor on LCDHost in a number of forms, such as simple text, plot graphs over time, display a value as a bar or as a speedometer-style dial.
You also can display status icons based on various thresholds - 70°C worrying
*? Have a warning image appear when the temperature reaches that level; 80°C really scary
*? Lets have a bright red icon then. Likewise you can set thresholds for fan speeds, voltages (although I've never really understood the interest in that one), or anything else your favourite monitoring application uses. Use whatever icons you like and define 5 different statuses (using four threshold levels). See the included icon sets which are based on the excellent icon set "silk" from
famfamfam.com.
It can monitor:
e.g.:
 |  |
Here you can see my current layout, including an array of temperatures and the speed of my main fan. | And here's a (messy) sample using all eight (because Everest doesn't really count as being separate from Aida64) applications. |
For old users:After a month of hard coding I'm happy to announce that the replacement for the current monitoring plugins is (almost) ready. Shipping soon with LCDHost Alpha 14, this plugin is a major step up from the existing monitoring plugins.
Here's the full list of changes:
General
- merge into one plugin
- Fix graph behaviour when app is not running
- Bars
- Dials
- Support for ATI Tray Tools
- N/A image to status image
- Only show "Round" option on non-int values
- changing font colours for status text objects
- changing font bg colours for status text objects
- investigate importance of updateScale in Graph object
- all tools disable sensor editing when app not running
- correct memory file mappings from create to open
- change to static_cast instead of C-style casts
- change data objects to QObjects & use parent-child r/ships
- Add help details
Aida64
- make all options on the graph available
- add lowest, highest & avg values for multiple cores etc
- add group graphs
- add group dials
- add group bars
- add extra groups (e.g. Cpu # / Core #)
Fraps
- Expose Game Name
- Convert to standard monitoring plugin
- Game dependant status images (in other words, using fraps you can have a different background image for each game you run, if you so desire)
GPU-Z
- Change Sensor index to type & drop down.
Afterburner
- Change Sensor index to type & drop down.
- add lowest, highest & avg values for multiple cards
- add group graphs
- add group dials
- add group bars
RivaTuner
- Change Sensor index to type & drop down.
- add lowest, highest & avg values for multiple cores
- add group graphs
- add group dials
- add group bars
CoreTemp
- change from index to string list
- add lowest, highest & avg values for multiple cores
- added core count & cpu count
- add group graphs
- add group dials
- add group bars
SpeedFan
- change from index to string list
- add lowest, highest & avg values for multiple cores
- add group graphs
- add group dials
- add group bars
Download *I just pulled these numbers out of the air, and are by no means recommendations for your specific processor. I suggest you seek out the TjMax value for your processor (you can, ironically, get this easily from CoreTemp ;-p) and base your thresholds off that. Our mutual friend, Mr Google, should help you establish learn more about TjMax. Alternatively if you've been monitoring your temperatures etc for a while you probably know what's normal for your system.Note that the old separate monitoring plugins, LH_SpeedFan, LH_CoreTemp, etc etc will be discontinued and will not be compatible with A13.[/list]
