A Linux-based real-time resource monitoring tool developed using C++ and Node.js. This project monitors CPU and memory usage, logs the data, and provides a web interface to visualize and track resource usage over time.

• Real-Time CPU and Memory Usage Monitoring: Continuously tracks system resources.
• Logging: Logs CPU and memory statistics into a file for historical analysis.
• Web Interface: Displays logs in real-time with a graphical representation of CPU and memory usage.
• Chart Visualization: Visualizes CPU and memory usage with charts using Chart.js.
• Cross-Platform: Can be run on Linux systems and accessed through a web interface.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Linux System (Ubuntu or similar distribution)
• C++ Compiler: For compiling the monitoring application.
• Node.js: For the backend server that serves the logs and the web interface.
• Git: For version control.

git clone https://github.com/ujjwalkran/CPUMonitoringTool.git cd CPUMonitoringTool

Navigate to the src directory and compile the C++ files:

cd src make

Start the monitoring tool:

../build/resource_monitor

This will begin logging CPU and memory usage to backend/logs/resource_log.txt.

Navigate to the frontend directory and install required dependencies:

cd frontend npm install

Navigate to the root directory and start the Node.js server:

cd .. npm start

This will start a web server at http://localhost:3000.

• The backend (Node.js) will provide the resource logs through an API at http://localhost:3000/api/logs.
• The frontend will fetch the logs every 2 seconds and display them on the webpage.
• The logs include CPU and memory usage percentages, which are logged every second.

• C++: For CPU and memory monitoring logic.
• Node.js: For backend server to serve the logs.
• Chart.js: For visualizing CPU and memory usage as charts.
• HTML/CSS: For the web interface.
• JavaScript: For frontend functionality.
