Damon - A terminal Dashboard for HashiCorp Nomad

Damon is a terminal user interface (TUI) for Nomad. It provides functionality to observe and interact with Nomad resources such as Jobs, Deployments, or Allocations. Interactions include:

• View Jobs and Job allocations
• View Deployments
• View Namespaces
• Show Task events
• Show Job status/information (equally to $ nomad status <job>)
• Show Logs in an active log stream (including filtering + highlighting).
• and more...

Additional Notes

Damon is in an early stage and is under active development. We are working on improving the performance and adding new features to Damon. Please take a look at the Damon project board to see what features you can expect in near future. If you find a bug or you have great ideas how Damon can be improved feel free to open an issue. To avoid duplicates, please check the project board before submitting one. Thank you!
