tracker-rs(1) System Tracker tracker-rs(1) NAME tracker-rs - high-performance system monitoring tool SYNOPSIS tracker-rs [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION tracker-rs is a high-performance, memory-safe system monitoring tool written in Rust. It provides real-time statistics for CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network traffic, along with process management and temperature monitoring. Designed as a drop-in replacement for the legacy Python implementation, it offers significant performance improvements (10-50x faster execution, reduced memory usage) while maintaining configuration compatibility. OPTIONS -c, --continuous Run in continuous monitoring mode. The tool will repeatedly display statistics and log data based on the update interval. -i, --interval SECONDS Set the update interval in seconds. Default is 5 seconds. This option is primarily used with --continuous mode. --config FILE Path to the configuration file. Default is "config.json". If the file does not exist, internal defaults are used. -h, --help Print help message and exit. -V, --version Print version information and exit. CONFIGURATION The tool is configured via a JSON file (default: config.json). The configuration file supports the following keys: update_interval (integer) Default refresh rate in seconds (overridden by -i). display (object) Toggle individual monitoring features on/off: - show_cpu (boolean) - show_memory (boolean) - show_disk (boolean) - show_network (boolean) - show_processes (boolean) - show_temperatures (boolean) process_limit (integer) Number of top CPU-consuming processes to display. alert_thresholds (object) Percentage thresholds for triggering alerts: - cpu_percent (float) - memory_percent (float) - disk_percent (float) Example config.json: { "update_interval": 5, "display": { "show_cpu": true, "show_memory": true, "show_disk": true, "show_network": true, "show_processes": true, "show_temperatures": true }, "process_limit": 5, "alert_thresholds": { "cpu_percent": 80.0, "memory_percent": 85.0, "disk_percent": 90.0 } } OUTPUT tracker-rs outputs formatted system statistics to the console. In continuous mode, it updates at the specified interval.
