below VS btop

below is good. Enable the service and add the --dict-compress-chunk-size argument, and you can keep a week of... pretty much everything, by cgroup and by process, at 5 second sampling period, in under 1 GB of /var/log space.

IO wait is counted against load by linux. So high IO pressure, i.e. found in `/proc/pressure`

I'm liking this project https://github.com/facebookincubator/below

It's packaged in Fedora.

I created something similar for our project “below” (https://github.com/facebookincubator/below/blob/main/below/b...).

The program collects system resource metrics into a data structure and we need to display the fields with different styles and formats. In order to decouple the data structure from rendering, Queriable (Keyable) and FieldId (combine KeyPath + mirror struct into enum) are used. I will definitely like to checkout the KeyPath implementation as it seems more general.

System Monitors: Would include Below.

I have been using glances for a terminal sysmon but I don't like that it eats so much RAM. Can someone please recommend a system monitor that is easy to comprehend and less resource hungry?

I am also curious about below [0] since it came up recently.

Below! https://github.com/facebookincubator/below

I mean mainly things like this:

Great work, it looks amazing! But what's the point of going through all the pain of rendering graphs in text? At that point, give me an actual graph. The code will be less messy and the information display will be better.

Btop is even more advanced than htop. It is almost like a GUI in terminal, and it feels like a dashboard of an airplane. I like it, but when I want to see what processes are using most of my resources, it is usually htop that comes to my mind and not btop, since btop shows more by default than I usually want. For more information see https://github.com/aristocratos/btop.

btop blows me away every time I use it.

Htop is good, but these days I prefer using Btop.

I love this and will definitely try it out! Although I admit I'm a little puzzled when people simultaneously want to do a TUI but also design things so there is generous (excessive, actually) whitespace around everything to create the illusion of "minimalism" or "comfort".

It's a TUI! It should be buzzing with numbers, packed with information, sparing with space and using every pixel possible. btop[1] is a great example imo — one of the best.

I am using Arco Linux (Arch Based) and today my machine was working as normal, but then I lost Wifi connection. I had btop opened in another monitor and when o lost connection, it crashed. Don't know what it means. This has happened before, but before I would just restart and everything would work fine again, but now, the OS doesn't show me anything Wifi related. When it happens,restarting shows are logs that normaly don't appear (can't show them here because they are now showing up anymore) and it takes a long time to restart, if it even restarts, sometimes I have to press down the power button (it's that bad). My mother is TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI, the Wifi adapter is the one that comes with the motherboard. I am on the Linux kernel 6.4.2 (I think), I updated the system this morning. On Windows (where I am writing this from), I don't have this problem.
