sysmon.system.System

Class System

Represents an abstract system and implements some basic logic.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, name='no-name') source code

name(self)
Returns the identifying name of the system.

source code

run(self)
Runs the system monitor.

source code

stop(self)
Stops the system monitor.

source code

acquire(self)
Acquire the lock object hidden in this system,

source code

release(self)
Release the lock object hidden in this system.

source code

update(self)
Performs an update of the system.

source code

set_delay(self, interval)
Sets the update interval after which information is refreshed, in seconds.

source code

delay(self)
Returns the update interval after which information is refreshed in seconds.

source code

set_callback(self, callback)
Sets the callback class to be used

source code

callback(self)
Returns the callback class being used

source code

parts(self)
Returns a list of all parts of the system.

source code

set_uptime(self, uptime)
Sets the system's uptime object.

source code

uptime(self)
Returns the system's uptime object.

source code

add_processor(self, processor)
Adds a processor to the system.

source code

processors(self)
Returns a list of processors in the system.

source code

processor(self, name)
Returns the processor with the specified name, or None if there is none.

source code

set_memory(self, memory)
Sets the system's memory bank.

source code

memory(self)
Returns the system's memory bank.

source code

add_drive(self, drive)
adds a drive to the system

source code

drives(self)
Returns a list of all physical drives in the system.

source code

add_filesystem(self, filesystem)
adds a filesystem to the system

source code

filesystems(self)
Returns a list of all filesystems in the system.

source code

add_networkconnection(self, nc)
Adds a network connection to the system.

source code

networkconnections(self)
Returns a list of all network connections in the system

source code

set_processlist(self, processlist)
Sets the object representing the process list.

source code

processlist(self)
Returns the object representing the process list.

source code

run(self)

source code

Runs the system monitor.

All parts are updated immediately, and then again at the interval specified in the parts' configuration.

stop(self)

source code

Stops the system monitor.

The monitor may safely be stopped and run and indefinite number of times.

update(self)

source code

Performs an update of the system.

These updates are done periodically (depending on the delay setting), so there is ordinarily no reason to call it from outside of the system.

Implementation note: this method updates the entire system. Since each part may have its own delay interval, the parts are responsible for calling their own update methods independently of the system. In other words, this method is ordinarily never called.

set_delay(self, interval)

source code

Sets the update interval after which information is refreshed, in seconds. This may be a fraction.

set_callback(self, callback)

source code

Sets the callback class to be used

Generally, this function is not needed, as a callback class is usually created that can be used without setting a new one.
