NAME

waybar - cpu module

DESCRIPTION

The cpu module displays the current CPU utilization.

CONFIGURATION

interval:
    typeof: integer
    default: 10
    The interval in which the information gets polled.

format:
    typeof: string
    default: {usage}%
    The format, how information should be displayed. On {} data gets inserted.

format-icons:
    typeof: array/object
    Based on the current usage, the corresponding icon gets selected.
    The order is low to high. Or by the state if it is an object.

max-length:
    typeof: integer
    The maximum length in character the module should display.

min-length:
    typeof: integer
    The minimum length in characters the module should accept.

align:
    typeof: float
    The alignment of the text, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

rotate:
    typeof: integer
    Positive value to rotate the text label.

states:
    typeof: object
    A number of CPU usage states which get activated on certain usage levels. See waybar-states(5).

on-click:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when clicked on the module.

on-click-middle:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.

on-click-right:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when you right-click on the module.

on-update:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when the module is updated.

on-scroll-up:

    typeof: double
    Threshold to be used when scrolling.

tooltip:
    typeof: bool
    default: true
    Option to disable tooltip on hover.

FORMAT REPLACEMENTS

{load}: Current CPU load.

{usage}: Current overall CPU usage.

{usage{n}}: Current CPU core n usage. Cores are numbered from zero, so first core will be {usage0} and 4th will be {usage3}.

{avg_frequency}: Current CPU average frequency (based on all cores) in GHz.

{max_frequency}: Current CPU max frequency (based on the core with the highest frequency) in GHz.

{min_frequency}: Current CPU min frequency (based on the core with the lowest frequency) in GHz.

{icon}: Icon for overall CPU usage.

{icon{n}}: Icon for CPU core n usage. Use like {icon0}.

EXAMPLES

Basic configuration:

    "cpu": {
    	"interval": 10,
    	"format": "{}% ",
    	"max-length": 10
    }

CPU usage per core rendered as icons:

    "cpu": {
    	"interval": 1,
    	"format": "{icon0}{icon1}{icon2}{icon3} {usage:>2}% ",
    	"format-icons": ["▁", "▂", "▃", "▄", "▅", "▆", "▇", "█"],
    },
