Graphical top tool
 

I use top a lot when analyzing systems across my enterprise. This tool allows me to quickly assess what is running and the load on each CPU in our multi-CPU systems.

Is anyone aware of any tools available that would provide top results in a graphical format for the casual user? What I am looking for is some kind of graph of CPU utilization along with network utilization, memory utilization, disk utilization and such things. This tool would be configurable. If anyone is familiar with AIX something like topas would work fine.

had a look at gkrelm?

If you Google it you'll see hits for "xtop" (ignore the ones about a conference). I haven't used it.

Are you looking for something that is "current" information or will show you "historic" information as well? If the former you might be better off getting "xsar".

Also HP makes GlancePlus for HP-UX and other OSes and apparently has a version for Linux (this has a fee). Have you checked to see if IBM has a "topas" for Linux?

Haven't used any of the above (except GlancePlus on HP-UX and Solaris) but recalled hearing about xtop some time back.

there can be only one answer to this question:

conky

htop

I have used htop and I find it to be a step above top in the graphical department. However if the package is not already installed on a system, I do not install htop, especially if it is a clients server. Not because I believe it will "break" anything, just because top is suitable.
