Great work!!!
The only thing that makes me still use other similar apps at the time being is just the format of the logs. Personally, it would make my life easier if the units (C, V, %, W etc) got written only at the titles. Most of the times i use these logs to create graphs using excel. The way it is right now i have first to replace all the units to empty space first, then create and process the graphs otherwise they get recognized as text.
So first thing i have to do is take this for instance:
Code:
Code:
Physical Memory Available Physical Memory Load Core #0 VID Core #1 VID Core #0 Clock Core #1 Clock Core #0 Usage
2174 MB 29.0 % 0.981 V 0.981 V 1596.4 MHz 1596.4 MHz 0.0 %
2172 MB 29.0 % 0.976 V 0.981 V 1596.3 MHz 1596.3 MHz 3.8 %
2172 MB 29.0 % 0.981 V 0.976 V 1596.4 MHz 1596.4 MHz 2.8 %
2172 MB 29.0 % 0.966 V 1.241 V 1596.4 MHz 2394.5 MHz 6.8 %
2172 MB 29.0 % 0.966 V 0.966 V 1596.5 MHz 1596.5 MHz 4.8 %
and make it look like this:
Code:
Code:
Physical Memory Available MB Physical Memory Load % Core #0 VID V Core #1 VID V Core #0 Clock Mhz Core #1 Clock Mhz Core #0 Usage %
2174 29.0 0.981 0.981 1596.4 1596.4 0.0
2172 29.0 0.976 0.981 1596.3 1596.3 3.8
2172 29.0 0.981 0.976 1596.4 1596.4 2.8
2172 29.0 0.966 1.241 1596.4 2394.5 6.8
2172 29.0 0.966 0.966 1596.5 1596.5 4.8
Also it would be great if the app could figure out the localization to use the "right" symbols according to the regional settings. For instance, here in Greece, the decimal symbol is the comma ",". In the logs the decimal symbol is the dot ".". Excel doesn't recognize for instance that 1.12V is a number because according to my regional settings the decimal symbol should be the comma. So in order to make the charts i have to do another "replace all " otherwise all the numbers with a dot decimal symbol are being considered by excel as text...
So after this replace it would now look like this:
Code:
Code:
Physical Memory Available MB Physical Memory Load % Core #0 VID V Core #1 VID V Core #0 Clock Mhz Core #1 Clock Mhz Core #0 Usage %
2174 29,0 0,981 0,981 1596,4 1596.4 0,0
2172 29,0 0,976 0,981 1596,3 1596.3 3,8
2172 29,0 0,981 0,976 1596,4 1596.4 2,8
2172 29,0 0,966 1,241 1596,4 2394.5 6,8
2172 29,0 0,966 0,966 1596,5 1596.5 4,8
...and at this point all the figures that have the decimal symbol are being recognized by excel as numbers (and not text) and it's ready to get transformed to a chart/graph...
Since you log to comma delimited format it can't be done with this delimiter (your delimiter conflicts with my decimal symbol) so maybe a more generic delimiter (like the tab) or an option to choose which ever you want would be the resolution.
Still, no worries, even if you don't do any of these it would still be my #1 monitoring prog, great stuff and thank you very much for your time and effort and the fact that you provide it for free.
