About:
Zenith is a terminal-based system monitor that displays real-time CPU, memory, disk, and network usage in a visually appealing, ncurses-style interface. It provides an intuitive way to track system performance without leaving the command line. The tool supports process management and offers a lightweight alternative to heavy GUI monitoring applications.
Key Features:
  • Real-time system metrics visualization
  • Process management and monitoring
  • GPU support (NVIDIA)
  • Customizable interface
  • Low resource overhead
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring server performance remotely via SSH
  • Debugging resource-intensive applications
  • Tracking system health on headless machines
Alternatives:
  • htop – htop is more widely available but lacks Zenith's graphical visualization and GPU monitoring
  • glances – glances offers more features but is Python-based with higher resource usage
