About:
Sampler is a tool for running shell commands and visualizing their output in real-time. It allows you to create custom dashboards using a simple YAML configuration to display metrics, logs, and charts. This provides immediate visibility into system behavior without complex setup.
Key Features:
  • Real-time command output visualization
  • YAML-based configuration for easy setup
  • Supports multiple chart types (bar, line, area)
  • Customizable alerts based on command output
  • Lightweight and dependency-free
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring system metrics and logs in real-time
  • Creating quick dashboards for development workflows
  • Visualizing data from shell scripts and APIs
Alternatives:
  • glances – Glances is a system monitor, while Sampler focuses on custom command visualization and alerting
  • ttyd – ttyd shares terminal access, while Sampler creates structured visual dashboards
