System Monitor
The systemmonitor sensor platform allows you to monitor disk usage, memory usage, CPU usage, and running processes. This platform has superseded the process component which is now considered deprecated.
To add this platform to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: systemmonitor
resources:
- type: disk_use_percent
arg: /home
- type: memory_free
Configuration variables:
- resources array (Required): Contains all entries to display.
- type (Required): The type of the information to display, please check the table below for details.
- arg (Optional): Argument to use, please check the table below for details.
The table contains types and their argument to use in your configuration.yaml file.

Linux specific
To retrieve all available network interfaces on a Linux System, execute the ifconfig command.
$ ifconfig -a | sed 's/[ \t].*//;/^$/d'
Windows specific
When running this platform on Microsoft Windows, Typically, the default interface would be called Local Area Connection, so your configuration might look like:
sensor:
- platform: systemmonitor
resources:
- type: network_in
arg: 'Local Area Connection'
If you need to use some other interface, open a command line prompt and type ipconfig to list all interface names. For example a wireless connection output from ifconfig might look like:
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Where the name is Wireless Network Connection
