Dstat Plugins

Dstat is a versatile tool for generating system resource statistics. It also supports plugins, which can be written to monitor whatever you want.

List of Plugins

These are my own dstat plugins:

CPU Temperature

Displays CPU temperature in Celsius as reported by lm_sensors.

Example:

$ dstat --cputemp
---------------------temperature---------------------
total  cpu0  cpu1  cpu2  cpu3  cpu4  cpu5  cpu6  cpu7
47.88 49.00 48.00 48.00 48.00 49.00 48.00 45.00 48.00
