Sampler is a command-line tool that periodically executes shell commands and visualizes their output as terminal dashboards with charts, gauges, and text components. It is configured via a simple YAML file and supports alerting triggers based on command output.
Use cases
- visualize shell command output as terminal charts
- monitor database metrics from the terminal
- watch message queue in-flight messages
- get notifications when a deployment script finishes
- build a quick terminal dashboard without Prometheus and Grafana
- sample any dynamic process from the command line
When to choose
- you want instant visualization of any metric obtainable via a shell command
- you need a lightweight dev tool instead of a full monitoring stack
- you prefer YAML configuration and zero infrastructure setup
- you want terminal-based dashboards with alert triggers
When to avoid
- you need production-grade, centralized monitoring with history and dashboards shared across teams
- you need metrics collection from servers without shell access
- you require long-term metric storage or querying
