System Resource Monitor

A Python application to monitor and log system resources including CPU usage, RAM usage, and network traffic. This tool provides real-time insights into your system's performance, leveraging the psutil library for gathering system metrics.

Features

CPU Usage Monitoring: Displays the CPU usage percentage along with a visual progress bar.
RAM Usage Monitoring: Shows the RAM usage percentage with a corresponding progress bar.
Network Traffic Monitoring: Logs the amount of data received and sent over the network in megabytes.

Requirements

Python 3.x
psutil library

Installation

Ensure Python 3.x is installed on your system.
Install the requirements using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To start monitoring your system's resources, run the script from the command line:

python main.py

The script will continuously display the CPU usage, RAM usage, and network traffic in the terminal. Press Ctrl+C to stop the monitoring process.

Code Snippet

Here's a brief look at the core functionality:

import logging
import time
import psutil

class NetworkTrafficMonitor:
    # Initialization and network traffic monitoring methods

class ResourceMonitor:
    # Methods to generate progress bars and log CPU/RAM usage

class Monitor(ResourceMonitor, NetworkTrafficMonitor):
    # Wrapper class to log CPU, Memory, and Network Traffic usage

if __name__ == "__main__":
    monitor = Monitor()
    while True:
        # Log and display system resource usage
        network_log = monitor.log_network_traffic()
        cpu_log = monitor.log_cpu_usage()
        mem_log = monitor.log_mem_usage()

        print(f"\r {network_log} | {cpu_log} | {mem_log}", end="")
        time.sleep(0.5)
