# Zen monitor
Zen monitor is monitoring software for AMD Zen-based CPUs.

It can monitor these values:
 - CPU Temperature
 - CPU Core (SVI2) Voltage, Current and Power
 - SOC (SVI2) Voltage, Current and Power
 - Package and Core Power (RAPL)
 - Core Frequency (from OS)

## Dependencies
 - [zenpower driver](https://github.com/ocerman/zenpower/) - For monitoring CPU temperature and SVI2 sensors
 - MSR driver - For monitoring Package/Core Power (RAPL)

Follow [zenpower README.md](https://github.com/ocerman/zenpower/blob/master/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).

## Installing
By default, Zenmonitor 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
```

## Setup on ubuntu
First follow [installation instructions on zenpower](https://github.com/ocerman/zenpower/blob/master/README.md#installation-commands-for-ubuntu)
Then:
```
sudo modprobe msr
sudo bash -c 'echo "msr" > /etc/modules-load.d/msr.conf'
sudo apt install build-essential libgtk-3-dev git
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/ocerman/zenmonitor
cd zenmonitor
make
sudo make install
sudo make install-polkit
```
