Terminal Resource Monitors
A resource monitor watches one part of a machine closely instead of summarizing all of it: GPU utilization and video memory, power draw and temperature, swap, disk throughput, or the bandwidth a single process is using.
These are what you reach for once a whole-machine dashboard has told you roughly where the problem is. A general monitor shows the load average climbing; a resource monitor shows which GPU is saturated, which link is full, or how much swap is left before the machine starts thrashing. Most redraw every second or two, so they work over an SSH session on a remote box as well as they do on a laptop.
Full screen dashboards that cover the whole machine at once, such as htop and btop, are under system monitors, and tools that collect metrics over time are under monitoring.
