  • gotop

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

  • but I also like gotop - https://github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop because it combines processes with the same name and has a very large cpu graph - this is helpful for large machines with many CPUs running a lot of processes

  • zenith

    Zenith - sort of like top or htop but with zoom-able charts, CPU, GPU, network, and disk usage

  • zenith

  • tiptop

    :desktop_computer: Command-line system monitoring

  • tiptop :)

  • vtop

    Wow such top. So stats. More better than regular top.

  • Surprised nobody's mentioned vtop. Especially nice because if you already have npm, you can just do npx vtop without needing to install it first. (I'm sure it's not the only JS tool in this thread, though)

  • htop

    htop - an interactive process viewer

  • I primarily use htop - https://github.com/htop-dev/htop

  • blur-monitor

    System Monitoring Using the blur-admin Template

  • I keep saying I need to rewrite it, but I wrote my own web based version: https://github.com/xcjs/blur-monitor
