gtop

Boost your workflow with gtop. System monitoring dashboard for terminal. Quick setup via x-cmd, no complex configuration needed.

Container Exec: ^WIP

1. Using docker module to automatically pull the base image and, on first execution, reconstruct it as a fully runnable software image as needed.
2. For subsequent runs, the command quickly launches containers based on the pre-built image, achieving near-instant startup.
3. All operations are executed inside the container, completely isolated from the host system, requiring no local dependencies—secure, clean, and leaving no traces.
4. When a rebuild is required due to software version or dependency changes, the Docker image build cache is fully leveraged to maximize reuse of downloaded dependencies and build artifacts, significantly reducing rebuild time.

This feature is still in testing. If you encounter any issues during use, please feel free to leave feedback in the X-CMD GitHub

gtop - The System Monitoring Tool in Terminal

gtop: A System Dashboard Right in Your Terminal

SSH into a remote server and want to quickly check system status without installing a heavy web panel? gtop is a Node.js-based terminal system monitoring tool that displays a real-time dashboard directly in your command line—CPU, memory, disk, and processes, all in one view.

Core Features

Real-Time Resource Monitoring

gtop visualizes key system metrics in real-time:

• CPU: Multi-core processor usage displayed with intuitive progress bars
• Memory: Shows used/total capacity, plus swap usage
• Disk: Space consumption for each partition
• Network: Real-time upload/download speed monitoring

Process Management

The process list at the bottom is sorted by CPU usage by default. You can:

• Quickly identify the most resource-intensive processes
• Press m to sort by memory usage instead
• Press q to quit

Technical Characteristics

Feature	Description
Cross-Platform	Full support for Linux and macOS, partial support for Windows
Lightweight	Built on Node.js, small installation size, low runtime overhead
Adaptive	Automatically adjusts layout to fit your terminal window size
Zero Configuration	Works out of the box, no config files needed

Use Cases

Server Operations

After logging into a remote server, just type gtop to get an immediate overview of system status. It's more visual than top, lighter than htop, and perfect for quick checks or keeping open in a dedicated window for continuous monitoring.

Development Debugging

During local development, use gtop to monitor resource consumption after launching applications, helping you spot memory leaks or CPU spikes.

Resource-Constrained Environments

If you're running on a low-end VPS (like a cheap 1-core, 512MB RAM instance), gtop's minimal overhead makes it a much better choice than web-based monitoring panels.

Comparison with Similar Tools

Tool	Interface	Characteristics
top	Character-based	Built into most systems, but basic user experience
htop	Character-based	Feature-rich, but requires installation and has a more complex interface
gtop	Terminal dashboard	Visually intuitive, simple to use, ideal for quick checks

Summary

gtop has a clear purpose: provide a beautiful, real-time system monitoring dashboard in your terminal. It may not be the most feature-complete tool out there, but if you need something lightweight, good-looking, and ready to use immediately, it's a solid choice.
