#54087 — (Mavericks) Activity Monitor Display

In previous OS's the activity monitor would display a legend (graph 
label) with the network activity graph so you could eyeball what the 
speed was.  The new one doesn't label the graph -- the only way you can 
tell the speed is by reading the numbers that display on the right hand 
side, which of course change  frequently.  Anyone know if there is 
anyway of getting scale labels on the new graph, or if an older version 
of activity monitor could be used?  (I doubt the latter would work, 
however.)

I stopped using Activity monitor to do this.  I use iStatMenu instead. 
It's more configurable and worth it, to me, to have a more global view 
of what's going on at any one time.

XRG is free, but doesn't do menubar status.

MenuMeters might also work but I don't know if it works on Mavericks.

XRG does just what I want, and a lot more!  Thanks.  It's another 
example of why Mac's are fun even for semi-geeks.  (I have no idea what 
"menubar status" might be, so I don't miss it. 😊 )

You can display all that info on graphs in the menu bar using 
MenuMeters. If all you want is display of system performance activity, 
XRG is great for that.

Then you literally don't know what you're missing. : )

I find iStat menus to be much more efficient and readily available then
other solutions like XRG. You can see a glimps of what iStat Menus does
right here:

<http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/>

Read the whole page and you can see the amount of information iStat menus
gives you is quite extensive - plenty for me, anyway.

June 25, 2013, Raging Menace released Version 1.6.1 because Version 1.6 
didn't work with the preview of Mavericks.  I still have 1.6 and haven't 
found any problem with Mavericks.  I guess I'll click the updater anyway.

Thanks for the hint.
I just had a look and discovered that I too have 1.6 running (without
any problems on Mavericks).
