Command line system monitoring tools like htop, atop, btop, etc: https://static.linuxblog.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/btop....





Cisco IOS, highest density information per screen of old days CLI, like "sh int" (show interface) to get almost all required information at one glance.

Wow btop looks fantastic out-of-the-box. I spent a long time configuring htop and still don't really like how it displays info (although it is an improvement over plain-old top)

Bottom is also great. I switched from btop because I preferred the config format.

btop is so good for rapid, dense information communication

glances is my favorite as far a density goes
