On PC/servers, PowerJoular uses Intel's RAPL through the Linux powercap sysfs, and therefore requires root/sudo access on the latest Linux kernels (5.10 and newer): sudo powerjoular
.
By default, the software will show the power consumption of the CPU and its utilization. The difference (increase or decrease) of power consumption from last metric will also be shown.
To monitor a specific application, just run PowerJoular with the -a appName
parameter.
