ASCII Dashboards!
There are quite a few dashboards out there — from roll your own, through pretty ones like Dashbling, to big/fancy ones like Tableau.
And then, there are ones like this — designed for people who spend most of their time on the command line and don’t have the luxury of multiple monitors (yes. It’s possible. And not just a money thing — ever worked from your laptop? On the road?).
Meet WTF from Chris Cummer, which is — as you can imagine — a fully ASCII based dashboard. It’s got modules for the stuff you’d probably use, like
and more, including New Relic, OpsGenie, and more. There is also support for CmdRunner, text files, and such with, of course, the option to add in your own if you need something specific.
Configuration is YAML based in the ~/.wtf/config.yml but you can override that if you so desire. And yes, if a module needs environment variables, it gets it out of your environment (so, so, simple)
It’s still in early stages, but is so, so cool — check it out!
