The System Monitor is a system for displaying the vital signs of a Fuchsia device and its processes. Samples are collected for global and per-process CPU, memory usage, and process list which are relayed to the Host computer for display.

The Dockyard is used as a library (with no GUI itself) that collects data from the Fuchsia device through the transport system. It responds to requests from the GUI for digestible (i.e. small) sections of data that will be presented to the user.
The communication between the Harvester and the Dockyard is handled by the Transport which will run on both the Host machine and the Fuchsia device.
