Nyx

Nyx is a terminal monitor for Tor relays. Relay operators use it to watch bandwidth, connections, and the state of their node live. It replaces the older arm Tor tool.

For relay operators

Nyx shows circuits, traffic, logs, and configuration. It connects to the local Tor process through the Control Port. Not relevant for Tor Browser end users.
