Option to display total memory usage

Thanks for making this package! It is quite useful to have the total memory consumption in view when running notebooks. However, after installing the extension I can only the usage of the current jupyterlab process rather than the total RAM being used on my system. I believe in your screenshots, the total RAM usage is shown together with a bar. Is it possible to configure the behavior of the extension to look similar to the screenshots?

The data about memory consumption is retrieved using the nbresuse package: https://github.com/yuvipanda/nbresuse

And yes that's right it's showing only the current process and its children (relevant code: https://github.com/yuvipanda/nbresuse/blob/648160625088bfb2b60e5791ee85ccf759e56f5f/nbresuse/__init__.py#L16-L18).
I also agree it would be useful to also have access to the RAM of the system. Something like a simplified htopbut in JupyterLab.

And here is how to set the memory limit indicator (it doesn't enforce it): https://github.com/yuvipanda/nbresuse#memory-limit

This great extension deserves to show short simple way, how to show full RAM.
Referencing users to studying technical docs (https://traitlets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) about traitlets config files, which are targeted for developers, is not easy to use option for most common users.

Closing as jupyterlab-system-monitor has now been integrated in jupyter-resource-usage: jupyter-server/jupyter-resource-usage#191

Feel free to open a new issue on the jupyter-resource-usage repo if needed: https://github.com/jupyter-server/jupyter-resource-usage

Thanks!
