Minotoring is not configuring.
System settings is about configuring KDE and related parts of the system, not
for monitoring it. Even what is labelled "System" in systemsettings is there
for -configuring- the system, not for providing other services.

What does kinfocenter configures? As the name says, it just provides
-information- about the system.
Same for ksystemlog (which is just a log viewer), and for ksysguard.

That does not imply making everything in one just because "it feels better".
Mixing different things with totally purpouses (configuring vs just viewing
data) makes exactly the opposite effect, ie configusion about "what is doing
what".

There's the KDE application 'partitionmanager' for this.
