About:
Nyx is a command-line monitor for Tor that provides real-time status and performance metrics for your Tor relay or bridge. It offers an interactive text-based interface to view bandwidth usage, connection details, and configuration settings. This tool is essential for operators to efficiently manage and diagnose their Tor daemons without complex configuration.
Key Features:
  • Real-time monitoring of Tor relay metrics and bandwidth
  • Interactive configuration editing and signal sending
  • Log file tailing and event filtering
  • Connection and circuit status visualization
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring a production Tor relay's performance and uptime
  • Diagnosing connectivity issues with a Tor node
  • Managing Tor configuration without restarting the daemon
Alternatives:
  • nyx --log – Using Tor's built-in logging is less interactive than Nyx's real-time interface
  • arm – Nyx is the modern successor to the deprecated 'arm' relay monitor
