Connect to remote sensors

KSysGuard can monitor remote KDE installations. https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kde-workspace/ksysguard/ksysguard.pdf 2.3.7 Connecting to other hosts

• File > New Tab
• Select the new tab/sheet.
• File > Monitor Remote Machine

I already have ssh setup using ssh -t username@192.168.1.10 https://askubuntu.com/questions/46930/how-can-i-set-up-password-less-ssh-login

So I used username@192.168.1.10 in the "Monitor Remote Machine" popup and it worked.

You can then drag the "CPU Load/CPU 1/Total Load" onto a graph.

I don't think you can use a remote sensor in my widget though. ~/.config/ksysguardrc has: SelectedSheets[$e]=ProcessTable.sgrd,SystemLoad2.sgrd,Sheet 1.sgrd,Sheet 3.sgrd,Sheet 4.sgrd

Using locate .sgrd Finds: ~/.local/share/ksysguard/Sheet 4.sgrd

Which distinctly uses:

<beam sensorName="cpu/cpu0/TotalLoad" hostName="username@host" color="0xff0057ae" sensorType="float"/>

Which I tried modifying to use regexpSensorName like the SystemLoad2.sgrd:

<beam regexpSensorName="cpu/cpu.*/TotalLoad" hostName="username@192.168.1.10" color="0xffff8000,0xffe20800,0xfff3c300,0xffff0000,0xff00a900,0xff0028a9" sensorType="float"/>

The systemmonitor dataengine appears to hardcode localhost so it doesn't appear the widget can monitor remote sensors.

KSysGuard can monitor remote KDE installations. https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kde-workspace/ksysguard/ksysguard.pdf

Yes, ksysguard is what I use in Trinity(KDE3). But I can't see how to put ksysguard in a panel in KDE5 :-( That inability is what led me to look for a different widget, which is when I found yours.

Annoying about the systemmonitor dataengine not allowing for interrogation of remote systems
