Syncthing: Remove unnecessary RAM/CPU stats from GUI

Created on 4 Jan 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: syncthing/syncthing

As long as (big) files synchronization (especially initial one) is IO-intensive task I'd like to see IO (hard drive) utilization in the Web UI along the CPU and memory lines.

I鈥檓 very much in favor of doing the opposite and removing CPU/RAM from the UI instead. Every operating system has utilities to report on these things and there is no real reason we should be duplicating it I think?

Sort of agree, also, it's usually misreported.

IO in general doesn't even have an API for most OSes

Being able to see how much CPU and RAM is used by Syncthing does come in handy when administering it remotely on different devices through a Web browser though.

@calmh removing all the system stats altogether is an option too.

On the other hand being very well aware of htop and using it on a regular basis I still found it handy that Syncthing shows its own resource consumption right in the Web UI and I somewhat missed the IO stats.
