dstat - online linux system statistics
Today i stumpled upon dstat[1], a command line interface to monitor linux system parameters online. Dstat integrates the functionality of tools like vmstat, iostat, netstat, nfsstat and ifstat and one can monitor additionally system metrics such as cpu frequency, battery status using plugins.
Here comes some output generated by dstat
root@ubuntu:/# dstat -C 0,1
