Procs

Procs is a high-performance system process monitor and viewer written in Rust. It serves as a replacement for the ps command, providing a command-line interface to track active system processes and their associated CPU and memory metrics.

The tool is distinguished by its container awareness, which maps system tasks to their corresponding Docker container names. It also features an interactive process tree to visualize parent and child relationships in a hierarchical layout and a JSON exporter for programmatic data analysis and automation.

The monitoring surface includes real-time activity tracking through interval-based polling, keyword and regular expression filtering, and metric-based sorting. Users can customize the experience through TOML configuration files to manage output columns, color themes, and visual alignment.

The utility includes shell completion generation for multiple command-line shells and integrates with system pagers for navigating long process lists.
