LAVASYS Everest... A beginning of new era!

I've been working with Everest, a hardware-monitor utility that some outstanding sensor monitoring capabilities. I'm trying to encourage them to make the fan, voltage and thermal readings available as performance counters so that they can be accessed via WMI calls but the point dev doesn't believe there's a market for reading this stuff with external apps like LCD Smartie.

He says if he gets a dozen requests they'll add it.

What I need from you guys is to sign up on their forums and make a quick post to the thread at http://www.lavalys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1207 Just say that you want WMI performance counters from a background service. It'll only take a couple of minutes for you to post, and you'll get really good returns over the long run. MBM5 is dead, speedfan is junk and hmonitor is weak... so this will give us the really good monitoring capabilities that we want. Two minutes guys, come on help me out here

BTW, this is what his sensor data shows for my supermicro boards:

Good luck to counting up to 12!

So I noticed on Lavalys' forums that there is progress made on this front to have Everst's readouts available to other programs. They have it working with some sort of keyboard lcd from Logitech. Would it be trivial to get it working with LCDsmartie?

Actually, yes.. assuming you have EVEREST detecting your hardware, the newest builds now allow you to write the sensor information to the Registry (as well as other places). This is turned on in EVEREST's Preferences.

From Smartie, it's simply a case of having it extract the Registry values, as below:

Code: Select all

CPU:$dll(RegistryReader,1,HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lavalys\EVEREST\SensorValues,Value.TCPU)$Chr(223)
MB:$dll(RegistryReader,1,HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lavalys\EVEREST\SensorValues,Value.TMOBO)$Chr(223)
GPU1:$dll(RegistryReader,1,HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lavalys\EVEREST\SensorValues,Value.TGPU1)$Chr(223)
GPU2:$dll(RegistryReader,1,HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lavalys\EVEREST\SensorValues,Value.TGPU2)$Chr(223)

I use the RegistryReader plugin to extract the values form the Registry.

Shorter calls now are available!

I have released a plugin for EVEREST. Check the link below:

I would like to use the cpu speed, fsb etc' from everst on my lcd.

How can I read them ?
