I’m looking for a recommendation for system monitoring software that also includes the GPU. I use htop a lot and would love for it to be a similar ncurses interface, but otherwise, I can make do with something Qt or at least not GTK.
I know there’s nvtop but unfortunately it’s ONLY for the GPU. I’d like to see everything at a glance if I could.
I don’t need the GPU bits to be that detailed but it would be nice to have a relatively simple graph as in the CPUs above, plus another tab (like the I/O tab) for process detail per GPU.
I been playing with glances …
according to THIS HERE it "should support GPU stats as well which is what I think your looking for.
when I ran it in the NFS here (which doesn’t have a GPU) I get a screen such as

Not sure if that is a direction your looking for but might be close
Nice suggestion. I ran into that recently. It has some nice features. I might look into it more, just simply as a sort of improvement over what I already have. Still, the GPU support is relatively minimal and non-graphical:
I guess that’s the best suggestion so far, though!
Yeah I figured it was lacking some… And have not played with it much.
I ran across it when I had a hair brained Idea to use an old cell phones to monitor systems processes and resources inside the servers. This Video gave me the idea.
As a basis…Which I’m still exploring the idea. (which means if I find the all in one I’ll definitely post it)
Which luckily coincides with what your wanting to do in your project.
And Like you mentioned I really like HTOP but the lack of GPU stats is wanting somewhat. But from the CLI it is configurable (which is where I am with the servers)
for the NFS gpu stats are not needed, but for the media servers yes I would like you mentioned like to see that. One other item I’ve not seen is IP address( might have over looked it) .
@wxl and @1fallen
@#455#$%@43 iPhone’s lol …
Btop won’t work for the iPhone (7 and 7+) to use as a remote resource monitoring… Screen size too small.
Now some android devices might work.
And I really liked the output. (so for my project not The OP’s looks like Htop or glances)
Now to get into alignment with the OP’s request / question
This might be a great choice. (which I probably will still use from the desktop)
would be nice if a sort of merger of available output was to happen that met the OP’s desires happened or was put into play. As this actually has my attention a bit.
Just a afterthought what about using tmux to combine some of the tools as it is a terminal multiplexer it might hit the spot until something better comes along
