System Monitoring

Cordatus provides advanced monitoring features to keep users informed about their device's performance. You can track the usage of your device's CPU, GPU, and RAM to ensure they are functioning properly.

This monitoring capability helps users identify performance issues or areas of congestion, allowing them to improve their device's efficiency. With vigilant performance monitoring, users can ensure their device operates at its best and reduce the risk of potential downtime or errors.

You can choose to monitor your devices using either the Cordatus Client or the Cordatus Web App.

Monitoring on Cordatus Client​

For PCs​

For device monitoring within the client, use the monitoring bar at the bottom of the client interface. Click on this bar to access detailed information. In the Overview tab of this window, you can view details such as CPU and GPU temperature, CPU and GPU usage, RAM and GPU RAM utilization, and the SWAP rate.

    • Select Interval: Choose the time interval for the metrics you want to retrieve.
    • Select Time: Pick a specific time range or use one of the preset options.
    • If you have chosen a custom time range, select the start and end times for the data.
    • Click the Get Metrics button, and the metrics for the selected period will be displayed.

 

On this modal, you can track various metrics of your device, such as CPU, GPU, and board temperatures, RAM usage, SWAP rate, and GPU memory utilization. You can explore more details by selecting tabs for containers, storage information, device alarms, jobs, and sensors. You can also toggle whether to launch the Cordatus Client on startup of your device. Additionally, you can start and stop device metrics by using the Stop Jtop Service/ Stop Metrics button.
