rtop is a remote system monitor. It connects over SSH to a remote system
and displays vital system metrics (CPU, disk, memory, network). No special
software is needed on the remote system, other than an SSH server and
working credentials.
Only Linux systems can be monitored, and most modern distros will work.
rtop is MIT-licensed and can be used anywhere with attribution.
rtop's home page has more information
and screenshots!
rtop is written in go, and requires Go version 1.2
or higher. To build, go get it:
go install github.com/rapidloop/rtop@latest
You should find the binary rtop under $GOPATH/bin when the command
completes. There are no runtime dependencies or configuration needed.
Pull requests welcome. Keep it simple.
