Conky for Multicore/Multithread CPUs?

[Acid74]

Hi there fellow MXers,


does anyone of you have a good suggestion for a CPU conky for multicore server CPUs?

I've set up a system with dual server CPUs 36cores/72threads in total and it would be handy to watch those in a quick glimpse with a conky. Most I've tested are 4 or 8 core max...

Any suggestion is welcome.

Here some quick info:

Thanks a lot in advance...

Which conky have you tried?

[Eadwine Rose]

Code: Select all

${color Tan1}CPU usage${goto 105}${color}${cpu cpu1}% ${cpu cpu2}% ${cpu cpu3}% ${cpu cpu4}% ${cpu cpu5}% ${cpu cpu6}% ${cpu cpu7}% ${cpu cpu8}%

This is mine for 8 cores, straight copy paste. Not a clue if that works for you.

[m_pav]

Just for clarity, Eadwine Roses' example is a one liner from a conky, not the conky in and of itself.
@Acid74 you may want to try inserting this line in an appropriate space within another conky, or try making one from scratch.

If you study the layout and structure of even a few of the existing conkys using Conky Manager and exit them without making any changes, you'll begin to see there are blocks of text that appear to have similarities to a web pages' css between the 2 sets of flags as in the example below

conky.config = {
a bunch of lines containing configs concerning style, placement etc.
};
conky.text = [[
cool things to display
}};

The content between the start and end points of the { curly brackets }; controls the look, or theme if you will

The content between the square [[ double brackets ]]; is where you'll find the particulars for what is to be displayed.

If you have an invalid setting between the double square brackets, the conky will not display.

You can try copying the content Eadwine Rose provided into copy of another conky that already has a very similar processor line to see if it works for you. It should be possible to see a pattern in the text and decipher it's operation. Sometimes, all that is needed is a single typed character into the line, or removal of one to get a malformed line working.
