Visualize metrics dashboards on the terminal, like a simplified and minimalist version of Grafana for terminal.

• Multiple widgets (graph, singlestat, gauge).
• Multiple datasources usage (including aggregation).
• Custom dashboards based on JSON configuration files.
• Extensible metrics datasource implementation (Prometheus included).
• Templating of variables.
• Auto time interval adjustment for queries.
• Auto unit formatting on widgets.
• Fixed and adaptive grid.
• Color customization on widgets.
• Configurable autorefresh.
• Single binary and easy usage/deployment.

Download the binaries from releases

Simple run:

grafterm -c ./mydashboard.json

Setting a relative time duration:

grafterm -c ./mydashboard.json -d 48h

Setting a fixed time range to visualize the metrics using duration notation. In this example is start at now-22h and end at now-20h

grafterm -c ./mydashboard.json -s 22h -e 20h

Setting a fixed time range to visualize the metrics using timestamp ISO 8601 notation.

grafterm -c ./mydashboard.json -s 2019-05-12T12:32:11+02:00 -e 2019-05-12T12:35:11+02:00

Replacing dashboard variables:

grafterm -c ./mydashboard.json -v env=prod -v job=envoy

Check this section that explains how a dashboard is configured. Also check dashboard examples

Datasources are the way grafterm knows how to retrieve the metrics for the dashboard. these are the datasources supported at this moment:

• Prometheus

Open an issue or a PR to support more datasource types.

This project would not be possible without the effort of many people and projects but specially Grafana for the inspiration, ideas and the project itself, and Termdash for the rendering of all those fancy graphs on the terminal.
