Checking system resource consuption

[CyberMinion]

Stupid question. If I think my C-7 hub is having performance issues, and want to check the resource consumption, both globally and by application, how might I go about doing that?

I've seen people post graphs and charts, but I can't find such things. Are they native, or must I add some 3rd partly application, the name of which I haven't guessed yet?

Thank you!

This driver will get you hub resource data:

[RELEASE] Hub Information Driver v3

Driver is a large scale rewrite of the original driver and brings added flexibility in the gathering of ~60 attributes related to general operation of the hub. Driver allows the assignment of these attributes to one of 4 user selectable polling queues and intervals in an effort to allow the impact of the data polling to be minimized (I average around 0.12% of total or less), and the generation of an html attribute for display on a dashboard (template is a text file that may be edited to allow …

Once you have it available, you can use some like:

[Beta] Quick Chart - Chart your data, quickly and easily

Just want to say i love this app - so much simpler and cleaner than Hubigraph. Thank you and keep it coming!

Although a lot of folks have setup logging to an external system (infludb/Grafana, Splunk, Google Sheets) to handle the graphing.

For drivers and apps, the closest you can get is looking at the 'Device Stats' and 'App Stats' pages from the logging section.

There are some basic tools in the Logs tab. You should have App Stats and Device Stats in there. I turn on all columns within those to get a better picture of what is going on. They aren't in graph mode however.

Others use standalone programs to do the graphing. I don't use any of those so I can't make a recommendation there.

Okay, that sounds promising--thank you for the recomendation!

Can you help a fool out, a little more? I installed Hub Information Driver, and created an associated device, as directed in the documentation. So far so good.

Then I installed Quick Chart. According to HPM, it exists with its child applications. However, I see no way to access it through the GUI. No entry in "apps" and "devices", not option to add directly to a dashboard...
Where is it?

Thank you!!

You need to add it as a device.... Then when added to the dashboard you pick it's html attribute

A QuickCharts virtual device? Alright, I'll make one of those too.

Okay, so I now have eight new things on the hub:

• Hub Information Driver
• Hub Information virtual device
• Quick Chart application
• Quick Chart Child application
• Quick Chart Data Collector Child
• Quick Chart driver
• Quick Chart virtual device
• Blank dashboard, intended for Quick Chart

But how in the name of humanity do I bolt this whole mess together? What exactly could I add to the dashboard in order to utilize Quick Chart, to finally see system resource utilization?

Expose the chart and the hub information virtual device to a dashboard then add the buttons to the dashboard using the HTML attribute available in each device.
