| # System Monitor |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| ## Main Pieces |
| |
| There are several pieces of the System Monitor |
| |
| - GUI or CLI program |
| - [Dockyard Library](dockyard/README.md) |
| - Transport |
| - [Harvester](harvester/README.md) |
| |
| ### GUI or CLI program |
| |
| At the highest level, the UI displays samples collected from the Fuchsia device |
| (in graphs or charts as appropriate), which come from the Dockyard on the Host. |
| The GUI for the System Monitor is not included in this source directory. It is |
| implemented at a higher level. |
| |
| ### Transport |
| |
| The communication between the Harvester and the Dockyard is handled by the |
| Transport. The Transport (which is made up of libraries, source code, and |
| protocol definitions) is used on both the Host machine and the Fuchsia device. |
