​​Uroboros - (★398) is a GNU/Linux monitoring tool focused on single processes.

While utilities like top, ps and htop provide great overall details, they often lack useful temporal representation for specific processes, such visual representation of the process data points can be used to profile, debug and generally monitor its good health. There are tools like psrecord that can record some of the activity of a process, but some graphical server is required for rendering, and it's neither complete nor realtime.

Uroboros aims to fill this gap by providing a single tool to record, replay and render in realtime process runtime information in the terminal, without affecting the process performances like more invasive ptrace based solutions would do.

See it in action.
