  • Vi-style navigation and command execution for seamless operation.
  • Interactive filtering and sorting capabilities to focus on specific processes or users.
  • Support for monochrome color schemes for better visibility in dark environments.
  • Customizable configuration file (ntop.conf) to tailor the interface to user preferences.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for power users, system administrators, and developers who require efficient process management and monitoring. NTop enables quick identification of resource-intensive processes, effective filtering for specific tasks, and immediate action through its intuitive command structure, making it a valuable tool for maintaining system performance and stability.

NTop can be installed via winget, ensuring easy setup on Windows systems.
