lumide_status_bar_stats 1.0.1

Lumide IDE plugin that shows CPU, memory, disk, network, battery and CPU temperature in the status bar, with a live dashboard. Linux, macOS, Windows.

lumide_status_bar_stats

System stats in the Lumide IDE status bar: CPU, memory, disk, network, battery and CPU temperature, refreshed every couple of seconds.

Features

• CPU: usage across all cores, with load averages in the tooltip (Linux and macOS).
• Memory: percentage used, or used and total; available memory and swap in the tooltip.
• Disk: free space on the system disk.
• Network: download and upload rates of the active connection.
• Battery: level, charging state and time remaining. Hidden on desktops.
• CPU temperature: from the CPU package sensor, in °C or °F. Fan speed on Macs with fans.
• Session uptime (off by default): how long Lumide has been running.
• Alerts: items turn orange or red when CPU, memory, disk, temperature or battery needs attention.
• Quick menu: click any item to change its style or hide it. The toolbar icon opens every option.
• Dashboard: live charts and the top processes by CPU and memory.
• Battery Saver: refreshes every 10 seconds or slower while on battery power.

Hover an item for details, such as the load averages behind the CPU value:

Installation

1. Open the Plugins pane (Cmd+Shift+X / Ctrl+Shift+X).
2. Search for lumide_status_bar_stats, or browse the Utilities category.
3. Click Install. The items appear in the status bar right away.

Commands

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and type System Stats.

Command	Purpose
System Stats: Open Quick Menu	All options: dashboard, refresh interval, units, items to show
System Stats: Show Dashboard	Live charts and top processes
System Stats: Show Report in Output	Write a text summary to the Output pane
System Stats: Refresh Now	Read every metric again
System Stats: Toggle CPU / RAM / Disk / Network / Battery / Temperature / Uptime	Show or hide an item
System Stats: Toggle Toolbar Icon	Show or hide the toolbar button

Changes made from the menus are saved to your settings.

Settings

Change these in the Installed tab of the Plugins pane (⚙ next to System Stats).

Key	Default	Description
lumideStats.enableCpu	true	Show CPU usage
lumideStats.enableRam	true	Show memory usage
lumideStats.enableDisk	true	Show free disk space
lumideStats.enableNetwork	true	Show network rates
lumideStats.enableBattery	true	Show the battery (only on machines with one)
lumideStats.enableThermal	true	Show CPU temperature (only where a sensor is available)
lumideStats.enableUptime	false	Show the session uptime
lumideStats.compactCpu … compactUptime	true	Show only the icon and value. Turn off to add a label, e.g. CPU 42% or RAM 8.0 GB / 16 GB
lumideStats.useFahrenheit	false	Show temperatures in °F
lumideStats.updateIntervalSeconds	2	Refresh interval, 1–60 seconds
lumideStats.batterySaverMode	true	Refresh every 10 seconds or slower on battery power
lumideStats.priorityBase	1000	Status bar priority. Change it to move the items
lumideStats.showTopBarIcon	true	Show the System Stats button in the toolbar

Disk space is read at most every 30 seconds and the battery every 15 seconds. Hidden metrics aren't read, except the battery state, which Battery Saver needs.

With compact mode off for CPU and memory, the items read like this:

Platform support

Metric	Linux	macOS	Windows
CPU	/proc/stat	Mach host statistics	GetSystemTimes
Memory	/proc/meminfo	Mach VM statistics, sysctl	GlobalMemoryStatusEx
Disk	statvfs	statfs	GetDiskFreeSpaceExW
Network	/proc/net/dev, /proc/net/route	route, interface counters (sysctl)	GetIfTable2
Battery	/sys/class/power_supply	pmset	GetSystemPowerStatus
CPU temperature	/sys/class/hwmon, /sys/class/thermal	SMC (read-only)	Not available
Top processes	ps	ps	Not available

• Windows: CPU temperature is only exposed to administrators, so the item stays hidden.
• Linux: Lumide doesn't support webviews on Linux yet, so Show Dashboard writes the report to the Output pane instead.
• Network counts the interface that holds the default route on Linux and macOS. With a VPN, that is usually the VPN interface. On Windows it counts the connected network adapters.

Permissions

The plugin only reads system information. It doesn't write files, change system settings, or make network requests. plugin.yaml lists what it reads:

• Files (Linux): /proc/stat, /proc/loadavg, /proc/meminfo, /proc/net/dev, /proc/net/route, and /sys/class/hwmon, /sys/class/thermal, /sys/class/power_supply.
• Commands: ps (Linux and macOS) only runs while the dashboard is open. On macOS, route runs every 30 seconds to find the default interface, and pmset every 15 seconds when the battery item is shown. df, vm_stat, sysctl and netstat are only run if reading the system libraries fails. On Linux, the status bar items start no processes.
• System libraries: read through Dart FFI: libc on Linux and macOS, Mach and the SMC on macOS, and kernel32 and iphlpapi on Windows.
