How to Use

After the program started, a floating window showing the network speed will be displayed on the screen. Click the right mouse button on the floating window to pop up the right-click menu.

TrafficMonitor supports displaying information on the taskbar. But TrafficMonitor only displays the main window (floating window) by default. If you want to embed it into the taskbar, please select the "Show taskbar window" command in the right-click menu.

Taskbar window supports customization of display items. By default, only the network speed is displayed. If you need to display the CPU and memory usage, please check the items that need to be displayed under the "Display Settings" submenu in the taskbar right-click menu, as shown in the figure below:

Plug-in system

The plug-in system has been added since version 1.82. The plug-in dll must be placed in the "plugins" directory of the same level directory of "TrafficMonitor.exe". After the program is started, the plug-in will be loaded automatically. You can view and manage the loaded plugins in the context menu "More Functions"-"Plugin Management".

About the hardware monitoring function

Starting from version 1.80, the hardware monitoring functions (including temperature monitoring, CPU frequency and graphics card usage monitoring) has been added in TrafficMonitor. It relies on the open source library LibreHardwareMonitor. If you encounter problems during using the temperature monitoring function, please click here.

It should be noted that the temperature monitoring function is turned off by default. If you want to use the temperature monitoring function of TrafficMonitor, please go to "Option Settings"-"General Settings"-"Hardware Monitoring" to enable it.

Note: The hardware monitoring function (including temperature monitoring and GPU usage monitoring) may have some problems, which may cause more CPU and memory usage. According to feedback from some users, turning on the temperature function will cause problems such as program crashes and system crashes. Please decide to turn on the hardware monitoring function after you are aware of the above risks. Otherwise, please do not use the hardware monitoring function.
