Hermes Vitals Light
CPU, load, free RAM, Linux PSI CPU pressure, active sessions, running Hermes processes and round-trip time of the connected Hermes server in the Desktop status bar, plus an optional TUI card.
Good to know before installing
The Desktop chip's backend route reads CPU/memory figures via psutil, Linux /proc/pressure/cpu and /proc/meminfo, every process's command line (only per-command Hermes process counts are returned) and the server's own loopback /api/status, and reports the server hostname to the Desktop; the optional TUI card, copied by hand into tui-widgets/, runs the same code as a long-lived `python3 -c` child of the TUI and saves its options to <HERMES_HOME>/vitals.json; no third-party network call, no telemetry, no credentials.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-vitals-light - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-vitals-light - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
