Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

sysmetrics

v1.0.1

Published

A zero-dependency TypeScript library for fetching real-time hardware metrics and system information in Node.js.

Readme

📊 sysmetrics


🚀 Demonstration

✨ About The Library

sysmetrics is a lightweight, zero-dependency library for monitoring system performance and retrieving real-time hardware information. It abstracts away complex, OS-specific commands, providing a clean, asynchronous, and easy-to-use API.

It is designed to be the data collection backbone for monitoring dashboards, predictive AI models, and any application that needs to understand its underlying hardware environment.


📦 Installation

npm install sysmetrics

(Note: Package not yet published)


⚡ Quick Start

Getting started with sysmetrics is simple. Import the main object and call the methods you need.

import { sysmetrics } from "sysmetrics";

async function logSystemSnapshot() {
  try {
    // 1. Get static hardware info
    const system = await sysmetrics.getSystemInfo();
    console.log(`System: ${system.cpu} on ${system.motherboard}`);

    // 2. Get dynamic metrics
    const cpuUsage = await sysmetrics.getCpuUsage();
    const ram = await sysmetrics.getMemoryUsage();

    // 3. Get GPU metrics
    // The getGpuInfo() function returns an object with specific methods
    const gpuController = sysmetrics.getGpuInfo();
    const gpuStats = await gpuController.getCurrentGpuStats();

    console.log(`\nCPU: ${cpuUsage}% | RAM: ${ram.used}MB / ${ram.total}MB`);
    console.log(`GPU: ${system.gpu}`);
    console.log(
      `  - Temp: ${gpuStats.temperature}°C, VRAM Used: ${gpuStats.vramUsed}MB`
    );

    // 4. Get top memory-consuming processes
    const topProcesses = await sysmetrics.getTopProcesses({ sortBy: "memory" });
    console.log("\nTop Memory Processes:", topProcesses);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Failed to fetch metrics:", error);
  }
}

logSystemSnapshot();

📋 Features

  • ✅ System Information: Get static data about your CPU, Motherboard, and GPU.
  • ✅ CPU Monitoring: Track real-time percentage usage.
  • ✅ RAM Monitoring: View total, used, and free memory.
  • ✅ GPU Monitoring:
    • Smart vendor detection (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple).
    • Provides temperature, VRAM usage, and GPU load data (where available).
  • ✅ Process Analysis: List top resource-consuming processes, aggregated by application.
  • ✅ Full Cross-Platform Support: Fully functional on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

| Metric | Windows | Linux | macOS | | :-------------- | :-----: | :---: | :---: | | Static Info | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | CPU / RAM | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Processes | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | GPU Metrics | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
