Below you'll find some examples how to use the metric service.
You can query metric data from the terminal, e.g. with curl
By default the server listens only on the loopback interface and port 8090.
To get a list with all metrics in plain text use:
curl http://127.0.0.1:8090/pmtab?format=plain
The output will be a list in the format metric-name: value.
STAPM LIMIT: 20.000000
STAPM VALUE: 2.218381
PPT LIMIT FAST: 20.000000
PPT VALUE FAST: 2.195250
PPT LIMIT SLOW: 15.000001
PPT VALUE SLOW: 2.274918
PPT LIMIT APU: 15.000001
PPT VALUE APU: 0.000000
...
If we want to show for example the current power consumption of the CPU, you can use curl in your conky script:
${exec curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8090/pmval?metric=SOCKET%20POWER | cut -c1-4} W
With curl we query the value for metric SOCKET POWER.
Then we use cut to trim the value since we only want to see the first 4 characters.
(Note: %20 is the urlencoded value for a whitespace).
