# PowerNap: Your Eco-Friendly CPU Monitor
Welcome to PowerNap! This is a Python-based tool that keeps an eye on your CPU usage and smartly adjusts the CPU governor to optimize power consumption. It's like having a personal assistant for your CPU, but one that's eco-friendly!
## Features
- **Real-time CPU Usage Monitoring**: PowerNap keeps track of your CPU usage in real time.
- **Smart Governor Adjustment**: PowerNap adjusts the CPU governor based on the current CPU usage and power cost, helping you save power.
## Installation
1. Clone this repository to your local machine:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/PowerNap.git
```
2. Navigate to the cloned repository:
```bash
cd PowerNap
```
3. Create a Python virtual environment and activate it:
```bash
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
```
4. Install the required Python packages:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Configuration
The `powernap.conf` file contains the following configuration options:
- `CostConstants`: This section defines the cost thresholds for high, mid, and low electricity prices.
```ini
[CostConstants]
HIGH_COST = 1.0
MID_COST = 0.8
LOW_COST = 0.5
```
- `AreaCode`: This section specifies the area code for which to fetch electricity prices.
```ini
[AreaCode]
AREA = SE3
```
- `SleepInterval`: This section specifies the interval (in seconds) at which the script should sleep between iterations of the main loop.
```ini
[SleepInterval]
INTERVAL = 60
```
- `DataRetention`: This section configures data retention settings. `DAYS` is the number of days to retain data, and `ENABLED` is a boolean indicating whether data retention is enabled.
```ini
[DataRetention]
DAYS = 1
ENABLED = True
```
- `CommitInterval`: This section specifies the interval (in minutes) at which data should be committed to the database.
```ini
[CommitInterval]
INTERVAL = 5
```
- `UsageCalculation`: This section specifies the method for calculating CPU usage. The `METHOD` can be set to either 'average' or 'median'.
```ini
[UsageCalculation]
METHOD = median
```
## Systemd Service
To run PowerNap as a systemd service, create a service file `powernap.service`:
```systemd
[Unit]
Description=PowerNap Service
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/path/to/your/python/env/bin/python -u /path/to/your/script/powernap.py
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
