rtop

A light version of top for monitoring multiple servers in parallel.

Forked and heavily based on the cool vtop project.

Bundled as part of Lisa (a deploy/management tool).

Running

rtop host1 host2 host3

Options

-u [user]
-p [port]
-k [path/to/private.key]

For example, to log in using a specific user and port:

rtop -u user -p 24 a.domain.com b.domain.com c.domain.com

You can also pass hosts in the regular user@host:port notation:

rtop user@host1:21 deploy@host2:23 host3

You can use the two things together, of course. If a local user or port is present, it will override the globally defined one.

rtop -p 222 host1 host2:333 host3

In this case, rtop will connect hosts 1 and 3 via port 222, and use 333 for the second one.

Using rtop programatically

The API is rtop.start(hosts, options).

var rtop  = require('rtop');
   
var hosts = [ 'host1', '[email protected]', 'host3.server.com:2222' ],
    opts  = { key_path: '/some/where/id_rsa' };

rtop.start(hosts, opts);

The same global vs local options apply as described above.

Install

npm install -g rtop
