Dependencies

zenpower3 driver - For monitoring CPU temperature and SVI2 sensors
MSR driver - For monitoring Package/Core Power (RAPL)

Follow zenpower README.md to install and activate zenpower module. Enter sudo modprobe msr to enable MSR driver.

Building

Make sure that GTK3 dev package and common build tools are installed.

make

Launching

You can launch app by sudo ./zenmonitor, or you can install it to your system and then launch it from your OS menu.

Note: Because superuser privileges are usually needed to access data from MSR driver, you need to launch zenmonitor as root for monitoring CPU power usage (RAPL). Alternatively, you can set capabilities to zenmonitor executable: sudo setcap cap_sys_rawio,cap_dac_read_search+ep ./zenmonitor

Command line arguments

--coreid - Display core_id instead of core index

Installing

By default, Zenmonitor3 will be installed to /usr/local.

sudo make install

To add menu item for launching zenpower as root (Polkit is required):

sudo make install-polkit

Uninstalling

sudo make uninstall
