Also notice the vertical grid lines, each of them represents 1 min. Which I think is a nice feature and would also like to see in plasma-monitor.
Agreed you can't really call it history if it's only 40 seconds maximum. I'd love to see the possibility of configuring it even beyond 20 minutes. A true historical view of the system if you're monitoring for long periods. The lack of time scale displayed also makes it hard to understand. Maybe show on the History title at the top the scale ie History (last 40 seconds) [although with configuration it'll change of course]. Personally I don't see much point in having a history that long, what I did 20 minutes ago is really not very relevant anymore to what I'm doing now. With the current update rate being 2 seconds, the chart currently shows 200 seconds of history, or a little over 3 minutes. Maybe this could be increased to 5 minutes but beyond that I see little point. Additionally, if you change the value of the X range in the configuration, you can keep however much history you want. If that doesn't work then it's a valid bug, but right now I don't see anything that needs to change here.

Well, two things I would like to reply to this: 1) You might not sit all the time in front of your PC or look at the monitor application, so things that happened in the past might be interesting to you. 2) Some task take longer than 5 min to finish (compiling, rendering, etc.) and if you want to get the full picture of how your PC performed during that tasks you need that long of a time span. Anyways ... > Additionally, if > you change the value of the X range in the configuration, you can keep > however much history you want.

Kinda confused by the UI, what would you use the "From X" for? I'm not agreeing on the update rate of 2 seconds tho. Is it planned to have this configurable (per page)? |
