# libsysstat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libsysstat is a library to query system information like CPU and memory usage or network traffic. Conceptually it's roughly similar to [libstatgrab](https://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab), a third-party library used by LXQt as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is maintained by the LXQt project but can be used independently from this desktop environment, too. As for LXQt libsysstat is used by plugin-sysstat of lxqt-panel and hence an optional dependency of the latter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note replacing both libsysstat and libstatgrab in LXQt by KDE Frameworks components is being considered but a final decision hasn't been made yet, see https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/704.
