InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
I use a variety of apps to do it. iStat Menus is a indispensable. Intel Power Gadget is also a useful tool for monitoring temperature, as well as seeing if your CPU/GPU speed is being throttled. I use the absolutely necessary Macs Fan Control to convince the fans to kick on before the processor is hotter than the surface of the sun, and there's another app called Hot that shows you real-time throttling data due to heat. I'm also very fond of XRG, which uses very little resources while looking very cool and giving you information about just about every aspect of your Mac, not just temperature.
