Does System Monitor not do what you want?

Different things you might want to display.  You have CPU and memory,
but you monitor other things as well (like network activity), and you
would create a new "worksheet" that included these other things, and
then you would load that worksheet.  I think "sensors" are meant as
kind of a plugin scheme.
