Hi everyone.
I'm the author of a small Plasma widget called Netspeed [1], which uses
the
systemmonitor data engine.
This engine comes with ksysguard, which has been replaced by
systemmonitor
in some distributions. Some users even have issues installing ksysguard
manually. It looks like without the data engine I will have to sunset
the
widget.
The engine comes with plasma-workspace but relies on ksysguardd.
Are there plans to maintain the systemmonitor data engine as part of a
different or a separate package? Or are there any alternatives to using
the
systemmonitor data engine?
I fear not. As the plan for Plasma 6 is right now to drop data engines
entirely and use more 'proper modules' I also don't see a port of the
engine
to ksystemstats happening.
In the vain of the having bespoke libraries for things the alternative
for you
is to use the Sensor[1] and/or SensorDataModel[2] in the
'org.kde.ksysguard.sensors' import. Those are powered by ksystemstats
and used
in plasma-systemmonitor/systemmonitor applets.
All the best,
David
