cpustat is a Linux command-line tool that samples CPU utilization and saturation for every process at high frequency and summarizes the samples at lower frequency, like a fancier top. It offers a text summary mode and a colorful scrolling terminal dashboard, but the project is deprecated and unmaintained.
Use cases
- measure per-process cpu usage at high frequency on linux
- find brief cpu spikes that averaged tools like top hide
- monitor cpu utilization and saturation per the USE method
- watch a scrolling terminal dashboard of cpu usage per process
- sample cpu stats for specific pids or users
- summarize min/average/max cpu metrics over intervals
When to choose
- you need higher-frequency cpu sampling than top or vmstat provides on Linux
- you want min/avg/max cpu metrics per process over a summary interval
- you prefer a lightweight Go binary with a terminal UI option
When to avoid
- you need a maintained or supported tool - the project is deprecated
- you are not on Linux - it depends on Linux taskstats and root access
- you need historical storage, alerting, or cluster-wide monitoring rather than a live local view
