FreeMeter is an application that monitors system performance.
The things that can be monitored include:
Disk Space Usage
CPU Utilization
Memory Usage
File Server Traffic
Disk Transfer Rates
FreeMeter consists of a desktop window and one or more system tray icons.
FreeMeter Professional contains 19 different meters (FreeMeter contains 9). You determine which ones you want to see, the order in which they appear, and their size.
In each bar graph meter, a red bar indicates 98% or higher utilization; yellow, 90% or greater; green less than 90%. Each graph can also have a blue horizontal line across it which represents the 30 second average for that meter. In FreeMeter Pro, you can change the percentage limits and the colors that are used.
You can quickly hide the FreeMeter window by double-clicking the title bar. To unhide it, double-click ant FreeMeter system tray icon. While hidden, all the meters continue to gather data.
The CPU meter shows the percentage of time that your computer's CPU is busy. If you have a 2 - 4 processor machine, you have the option to display each processor in its own graph. [Multiple processor support is only available in FreeMeter Pro.]
The Drive Space meter shows the status of the disk volumes being monitored. You choose which columns to display. You can also change the ordering of the columns by dragging and dropping them. In this example, the "People" volume is red because the free space on that volume has dropped below the user defined warning level. Drive E: is crossed out because it is currently unavailable. FreeMeter can monitor local drives and network volumes. It fully supports UNC volume names.
You can double click a volume to open an Explorer window on that volume. You can right click a volume and select "Show Folder Usage" to view the individual folder usage on the volume. You can right click a volume and select "Copy" to copy all current volume information to the clipboard.
The Memory Pages/sec graph indicates the rate at which pages are read from or written to disk to resolve hard page faults. This meter is a primary indicator of the kinds of faults that cause system-wide delays. If this meter shows a lot of activity when your computer is being slow, you may need more memory.
The System Uptime meter displays the amount of time that system has been running since it was last booted.
The Network Ping meter pings a list of local or remote hosts to determine which are up and which are down. It displays each host's ping response time. The longer the time, the slower the network connection to that host.
