In the ever-evolving landscape of Linux system monitoring tools, there's a simple yet highly effective utility that often goes unnoticed: xload. This tool provides a visual representation of the system's load average, which can be extraordinarily handy for administrators and users looking to keep an eye on system performance without delving into more complex monitoring solutions. Xload is part of the X.Org package, a freely redistributable, open-source implementation of the X Window System that is primarily aimed at UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems like Linux. The tool graphically displays the average load of the system in a floating window, making it easy to observe system load trends in real-time.
