Feature Request: Show hard drive and CPU usage in status bar

Post by lollerskates »

It would be *WONDERFUL* if the status bar of the web interface had:

HDD space remaining (either GB/MB or percentage)

System Load



Both of these things are very easy to implement, and I hope the community would find them useful. The 2 things I constantly login to SSH to check are disk space and CPU load, since I torrent to a remote server. If the web interface had this, I wouldn't need to anymore!

Can I get any backing on this request? I am sure there are others out there wanting this simple addition :wink:

Actuall I don't think it fits with transmission.

Space remaining could be difficult with many systems having
Multiple drives and partitions.

System load should be something you tune when you setup transmission and figure out how many connections your system can handle, after that it should stay roughly the same

Cool option but seems a little "bloaty" to me. Perhaps there would be a way to modularize it to allow something external to be inserted into the web interface. There's no reason that such things should necessarily be part of core transmission (IMO).

Actually there IS a free space indication in the rpc-spec already. I use it in Shift. The dev team may have chosen not to expose it yet because the value or calculation may be unreliable. I only use one big partition on my installation and I can't find any problems there. The freespace given by transmission-daemon matches df -h.
