New tool: ros2sysmon - monitor nodes, topics, ifs, and more in one utility

Wow, this looks quite nice!

Except the frequency stats. Subscribing all topics is a really really bad idea.

The solutions are not straightforward, but generally circle around topic statistics (builtin, but need to be enabled per pub/sub or via a hack), or tracing (ros2_tracing). Recently, Kat mentioned ROS 2 Graph Monitor which uses the first approach with hack. Maybe the two projects could cooperate? Yours as a nice TUI, and Polymath’s as the data source…
