Monitor System

dgop – system monitoring tool with CLI and REST API

dgop is a system monitoring tool with CLI and REST API.

It can be used standalone, or as a companion for DankMaterialShell to unlock system information functionality.

dgop supports cursor-based sampling for building real-time monitoring tools like htop. Instead of relying on instantaneous snapshots, you can track system state changes over time for more accurate CPU usage calculations and network/disk rates.

The cursor system works by:

  • Taking an initial measurement that establishes baseline metrics and timestamps
  • Returning a base64-encoded cursor containing the current state data
  • Using that cursor in subsequent calls to calculate precise percentages and rates over the sampling interval

This approach accounts for the actual time elapsed between measurements, making it ideal for monitoring tools that poll every few seconds.

This is free and open source software.
