pg_view

I am experimenting with various distributed data engines, and would like a simple way to visually monitor system activity on demand. Typically for spot checking I use htop or nmon running on the host. I can split a screen 4 ways in tmux and run 4 ssh sessions running htop within, but this makes for a very busy screen. That approach is easy, because it does not require a monitoring server setup, and a simple character mode display refreshes faster than a web delivered chart. Does anyone know of simple utility like an htop or similar to pg_view [1] that works well on small window segments? [1] https://github.com/zalando/pg_view

Since we (Zalando) are heavy PostgreSQL users, we also had the need for monitoring and part of the result we came up with is http://zalando.github.io/PGObserver/ and https://github.com/zalando/pg_view
