Scout Realtime: An Alternative to top/htop
Looks comfortably awesome.

Epic. It's in Ruby!
This and Scout as a whole is very nice, if a little expensive.
Expensive?
Uses a ruby version that conflicts with CentOS default ruby. (Which is fine, a recompiled / custom opt/path ruby install is fine in these cases.)
Uses a ruby version that conflicts (and actually breaks) OpenNebula SunStone's ruby (thus we can't use it.)
This is rather resource intensive from our testing so far.
Anything that costs more than $7/month is expensive for LET.
And ya, I think it was meant for dedicated boxes where you can afford the overhead.
$75 a month for checking 5 servers with one min checking is a little steep, but as i said it's good. Used it before for non personal stuff
Scout is pretty cool, but I'd recommend Glances over Scout anyday, https://github.com/nicolargo/glances it's literally the same thing but lighter on resources, runs via the CLI so no funky setup needed to view it etc
Easy install is shown here : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-install-glances-monitoring-tool/
It does have a nice and clean proc/disk display.
As GoodHosting mentioned, I ended up with Ruby from source to get this running in CentOS 6 (repo version was too old, need >=1.9), but the setup is simple enough.
Thanks for the Glances link, I like the password option to it, going to give it a try.
From that github link, I did not see where you need to pay?
@linuxthefish meant https://scoutapp.com/ [which created Scout Realtime]
The Scout software is closed source. scout_realtime is an open source sample.
