Grafterm is a single-binary Go CLI that renders metrics dashboards directly in the terminal, inspired by a simplified Grafana. It supports JSON-configured dashboards with graph, singlestat, and gauge widgets, pulling data from Prometheus and Graphite datasources with templating and autorefresh.

Use cases

  • view prometheus metrics dashboards in the terminal
  • monitor services over ssh without a browser
  • render graphite graphs in a tui
  • quickly check metrics while on a server
  • build custom terminal dashboards from config
  • replace grafana for lightweight terminal observability

When to choose

  • you work primarily in a terminal or over ssh and need quick metric visibility
  • you want a single static binary with no server to deploy
  • your metrics live in Prometheus or Graphite and JSON dashboard config is acceptable

When to avoid

  • you need Grafana's full features like alerting, plugins, or rich sharing
  • you prefer graphical/web dashboards or team-shared dashboards
  • you need datasources beyond Prometheus and Graphite without writing an extension
