System resource monitoring tools

These 29 products are system resource monitoring tools that track CPU, memory, and other performance metrics across Linux, containers, VMs, and even X11 sessions. Entries are dated from 2010 through 2026-06, with a denser grouping of releases from 2019 onward, though the overall timeline is a slow, steady stream rather than any concentrated burst. The traction leaders (beszel-hub-bin, pi-ext-usage, taskwire-bin) all show 0 stars, indicating minimal visible user adoption.
