Notes about upgrade

It is recommended to read the README before installing Multiload-ng.

Settings reset

Upgrade from a previous version to v1.3.0 will reset some settings to default value. Don't worry, this will happen ONLY the first time the plugin is launched.

Dropped libgtop

This release drops libgtop dependency. It used to cause many problems in the past, due to lack of proper documentation and sometimes incorrect reporting of system resources usage (see #10). Now system data is read directly from nodes in /proc and /sys, resulting in less memory overhead and less CPU usage. This also corrects RAM usage stats, aligning them to values returned by free.

Parametric graph

This long-awaited feature has finally come. Parametric graph executes any valid command line, and draws up to 4 float values and a one-line text message. It can be used to monitor virtually anything! Detailed instructions are in a tooltip next to Advanced settings for this graph.

Selectable maximum display value

Multiload-ng 1.3.0 allows user to choose max display value of every graph (except those that use percentages, whose maximum is always 100%). Previous behavior (automatic calculation of max value) is still possible by checking the dedicate checkbox.

Selectable sources

Multiload-ng 1.3.0 has filters support: in graphs with multiple sources (namely network, disk and temperature) user can choose which sources use in calculations. Previous behavior (automatic selection) is still possible by checking the dedicate checkbox.
