I made a terminal utility to monitor some system stats. Was wondering if you guys know of anything better or if I should continue dev work on it since we need it?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux

  • bashtop

    Linux/OSX/FreeBSD resource monitor

  • I would check out https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop, and https://amanusk.github.io/s-tui/ for inspiration!

  • bottom

    Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor.

  • Looks great, I didn't see anybody mention bottom

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

  • Since we're monitoring a lot of instances at work, we've gone over to Prometheus + Grafana pretty much completely, and I've started using it for my home lab too.

  • WTH

  • bpytop

    Linux/OSX/FreeBSD resource monitor

  • Better is often subjective. But such tools are a dime a dozen. For example, https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop.

  • s-tui

    Terminal-based CPU stress and monitoring utility

  • I would check out https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop, and https://amanusk.github.io/s-tui/ for inspiration!

  • gtop

    System monitoring dashboard for terminal

  • Very cool. Reminds me of gtop/gotop.

  • 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.

  • gotop

    A terminal based graphical activity monitor inspired by gtop and vtop (by xxxserxxx)

  • Very cool. Reminds me of gtop/gotop.

  • ytop

    Discontinued A TUI system monitor written in Rust

  • The most similar one I've used is ytop. You might be able to draw some inspiration from there.

  • mediactl

    Media controls for Linux, powered by MPRIS via D-Bus

  • I recently made a media control program to bind my keyboard's multimedia keys to, even though there's a million of them out there with different features or whatever - I'm also currently working on a FastCGI indexer to use instead of PHP for indexing my personal fileserver 💪💪

  • ghp

    Go homepage is a customisable FastCGI directory indexer

  • collector

  • I made something similar, but with a different purpose. My idea was to just throw all the data in a database, and use Grafana for the visualizations (it can be self hosted on your own server). Works great so far.

  • grafterm

    Metrics dashboards on terminal (a grafana inspired terminal version)

  • You can add https://github.com/slok/grafterm to your list.

  • engrampa

    A file archiver for MATE

  • Linux mint mate has something called "System Monitor" that is a running graphical plot of system activity. http://www.mate-desktop.org It is by the Mate developers. Very nice. It is similar to the windows monitor.

  • sysstat

    Performance monitoring tools for Linux

  • prometheus

    The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.

  • Since we're monitoring a lot of instances at work, we've gone over to Prometheus + Grafana pretty much completely, and I've started using it for my home lab too.

  • atop

    System and process monitor for Linux

  • gotop

    Discontinued A terminal based graphical activity monitor inspired by gtop and vtop

  • you have also gotop

  • archinstall

    Arch Linux installer - guided, templates etc.

  • blessed

    A high-level terminal interface library for node.js.
