#+END_SRC
If autoguessing monitor doesn't work for you or you have another reason to specify manually your monitor, you can use this subcommand to get proper id for ~--monitor~ parameter:
#+BEGIN_SRC
$ dwm-polybar monitors
Monitor 0 (current):
Selected application name: *doom:vterm-popup:#1* – Doom Emacs
#+END_SRC

After that, add module to your polybar config:
#+BEGIN_SRC ini
[module/dwm]
type = custom/script
exec = dwm-polybar --padding 1 --active-bg #7e9cd8 --urgent-bg #c34043
tail = true
#+END_SRC
