5 htop Alternatives to Enhance Your Linux System Monitoring Experience
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
htop is a popular command-line tool to help monitor the system’s resources and performance on Linux.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**It’s better than top**, often available by default out of the box.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With htop, you can filter and sort processes to understand things better, get a tree view of the processes running, and kill processes when needed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
I use htop over other system monitoring tools because it displays what’s essential to me and allows terminating rogue/frozen processes when I need to take control of running services.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But, if you want something else that displays more info or looks different, what are some **htop alternatives**? Let’s take a look.

### 1. atop
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![atop 2022][3]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[atop][4] is all about running process details. You get all the data you need to understand the processing on your system.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It also provides the ability to make a permanent log of resource utilization for long-term analysis. A system administrator might find this more useful than anyone else.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unfortunately, it does not provide you with a pretty output. So, if you want that, keep looking at the other options below.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### How to install atop?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For Ubuntu/Debian-based distributions, type in:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt install atop
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 2. vtop
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![vtop 2022][5]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[vtop][6] is the perfect system monitoring utility if you want a good-looking output and essential features to manage processes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The output looks like a GUI in a terminal, as I’ve stated in some of my other articles. You can have mouse support or choose to disable it. The theme can also be customized.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is built using Node.js. So, you need to install additional packages to get it installed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unfortunately, this project seems to be no longer actively maintained. But, it worked for me at the time of writing this article.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### How to install vtop?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For Ubuntu-based distros, enter the following commands in the terminal:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt install nodejs
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt install npm
|
|||
|
|
sudo npm install -g vtop
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 3. btop++
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![btop][7]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[btop++][8] is a C++ version of bashtop and bpytop. And, yes, it is the third iteration of those projects by the same developer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
btop++ includes full mouse support, features a game-inspired menu system, lets you filter processes, get a tree view, and more.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### How to install btop++?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Using the official repositories, you can easily install it on Fedora, OpenSUSE, and FreeBSD.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For Fedora, you can type in:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo dnf install btop
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can explore its [GitHub page][8] for options to install on other Linux distributions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 4. Glances
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![glances 2022][9]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Glances is similar to htop, but with more features.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is a cross-platform system monitoring utility that can export data as CSV or other formats for InfluxDB, Elasticsearch, and more.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can also utilize its web user interface to check the stats remotely or without access to the terminal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### How to Install Glances?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For Ubuntu-based distros, you can type in:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt install glances
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 5. nmon
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![nmon 2022 1][10]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[nmon][11] is an impressive monitoring utility that lets you control what you want to display as the output.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can extract the monitoring data (export it as CSV) and use it for further analysis. It is easy to toggle statistics and switch between different views.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
By default, it refreshes the data every two seconds, but you can customize it and access more options to tweak your experience.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### How to install nmon?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can find it in the official repositories. For Ubuntu-based distros, type in the following in the terminal:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt install nmon
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Wrapping Up
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![top 2022][12]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The top command utility comes baked in with your Linux system. If you want a no-nonsense monitoring utility and want to keep an eye on system processes and some stats, top is sufficient.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Not sure if I can count it as an enhanced experience over htop and that’s the reason why top is not included in the main list.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As you can see here, some monitoring utilities may be fun and prove to be more insightful than htop.
|
|||
|
|
|
