I love System Load Indicator (indicator-multiload), but it doesn't reflect the usage of the individual CPU cores, just the overall CPU usage. Sometimes I'll have an application max out a single core (ahem, Eclipse), but when I glance at the CPU usage graph, everything looks acceptable.
I know I can just open Htop, but the whole point of an application indicator is being able to get the information you want with a glance, not keystrokes. Thanks.

This is for Ubuntu 14.04 and later.
Install
indicator-sysmonitor
Run it
cpu: {cpu} mem: {mem}
tocpu: {cpu0}{cpu1} mem: {mem}
. Add whatever as CPU cores you have.Save
