Show number of cores in JSON output

[aliasaria]

In the CLI monitor, you can see the number of cores at the top, e.g.:

4E+10P+30GPU 96GB

But when you call macmon to get pipe output like this:

./macmon pipe -s 1 -i 0

The cores don't show up anywhere in the JSON output

{

  "temp": {
    "cpu_temp_avg": 43.73614,         // Celsius

  },

  "gpu_ram_power": 0.0009615385       // Watts (not sure what it means)
}

Would be great if you could add them as a field.

Hi @aliasaria, I saw your PR. I'm not sure it's a good idea to include all this information in every update message, since it doesn't change anyway. It might be better to create a separate pipe-info command that can be called once to return the required information.

Hi! Ok I changed the PR so that it only shows the extra info if you pass --soc-info like this:

macmon pipe -s 1 -i 500 --soc-info | jq

Hi @aliasaria, thanks for the PR! I’ve released this feature in v0.6.1.
