Hi! I just tried it out on a fairly plain Debian Stretch server, no problems.
One comment: shouldn’t the description of the DEBUG log level (in the “event types” dialog) point out the privacy implications of logging at that level? I only ask because usually when I see that log level mentioned (e. g. in the context of a bug report where the developers ask the relay operator for more information), it’s accompanied by a disclaimer that you should not log at DEBUG level by default because the output might include sensitive information.

Hi all! After five years Nyx (previously known as arm) is getting a far belated update. Under the covers the whole codebase has been rewritten from scratch, but for users things look much the same. One of those cases where...
"When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all." -Futurama
Main changes are...
Python 3.x support.
New website: https://nyx.torproject.org/
Bandwidth graph now prepopulates when you start up, so you have a graph right away.
Connections are now available without togging DisableDebuggerAttachment in your torrc.
Support for showing IPv6 connections.
Dialog for picking tor events to log, rather than an arcane letter flag input.
Improved efficiency of log deduplication by multiple orders of magnitude. As such verbose logs no longer peg your CPU.
Richer control interpreter, including a python prompt like IDLE.
Removed features that frequently confused users such as the relay setup wizard and torrc validation.
Modernized dependencies. Nyx now uses Stem rather than TorCtl (which was deprecated in 2011).
Our ducks should finally be in a row for release, but this being a full rewrite I'd like to start with an open beta to work out anything I might have missed.
Would relay operators mind giving Nyx a whirl? To give it a try simply ensure you have a control port available in your torrc...
ControlPort 9051 CookieAuthentication 1
... and run the following...
% git clone https://git.torproject.org/stem.git % git clone https://git.torproject.org/nyx.git % cd nyx/ % ln -s ../stem/stem stem % ./run_nyx
