TL;DR

ttyplot

A realtime plotting utility for the command-line with data input from stdin. More information: https://github.com/tenox7/ttyplot.

  • Plot the values 1, 2 and 3 (cat prevents ttyplot to exit):

{ echo 1 2 3; cat } | ttyplot

  • Set a specific title and unit:

{ echo 1 2 3; cat } | ttyplot -t title -u unit

  • Use a while loop to continuously plot random values:

{ while true; do echo $RANDOM; sleep 1; done } | ttyplot

  • Parse the output from ping and visualize it:

ping 8.8.8.8 | sed -u 's/^.*time=//g; s/ ms//g' | ttyplot -t "ping to 8.8.8.8" -u ms
