Overview
nview is a local monitoring tool for a Cardano Node (cardano-node) meant to complement remote monitoring tools by providing a local view of a running node from the command line. It is a TUI (terminal user interface) designed to fit most screens.
Running nview against a running Cardano Node will work out of the box with a default Cardano Node configuration, which exposes metrics in Prometheus data format on a specific port. However, if you need to make change you can run nview with a configuration file.
