tokio-console is a diagnostics and debugging tool for asynchronous Rust programs built on Tokio and tracing. It streams task-level diagnostic data over a gRPC wire protocol and displays it in an interactive terminal UI, like top(1) for async tasks.

Use cases

• debug why my tokio task is blocked or hanging
• monitor async tasks in a rust application like top
• find tasks that are stuck awaiting in tokio
• inspect long-running async tasks in a rust service
• view task waker and poll statistics for tokio
• troubleshoot slow async rust programs

When to choose

• you build applications with Tokio and tracing and need visibility into async task behavior
• you want a live, interactive terminal view of task states, durations, and wakers
• you want to build custom diagnostic tooling on an open gRPC wire protocol

When to avoid

• your application does not use Tokio or the tracing ecosystem
• you need heap profiling or CPU flamegraphs rather than task-level diagnostics
• you need a GUI or web-based dashboard out of the box
