nix-output-monitor
A terminal monitor that enhances nix-build output with real-time progress, dependency trees, and build statistics.
What is nix-output-monitor?
nix-output-monitor (nom) is a terminal-based monitoring tool that intercepts and enhances the output of Nix build commands. It provides real-time visual feedback on build progress, displays a dependency tree, and shows statistics like build durations and completion statuses, making long Nix builds more understandable.
Nix users and developers who frequently run builds and want better insight into what's happening during the process, especially those working with complex dependency graphs or remote builds.
It offers a unique, real-time visualization layer on top of standard Nix output, turning opaque build logs into an interactive dashboard that highlights critical information and helps diagnose slow or failing builds faster.
Overview
Pipe your nix-build output through the nix-output-monitor a.k.a nom to get additional information while building.
