About dool

Dool is a command-line monitor for Linux that prints live statistics for CPU, memory, network, load average and other parts of the system as columns in the terminal. It is a Python 3 compatible fork of Dstat, so people who relied on Dstat can keep the same style of output on current systems.

A plug-in architecture lets it report other system metrics. Installation is simple: download a release archive or clone the repository and copy the dool script into your PATH.

Strengths

  • Python 3 compatible continuation of Dstat
  • Covers CPU, memory, network, disk and load in one view
  • Plug-in architecture for extra metrics
  • Single script that is easy to install

Limitations

  • Linux only
  • Text output only, with no graphical interface
