I just published an ncurses based cluster CPU monitoring tool on GitHub, see:

 https://github.com/koppi/ccm

Think of htop with SSH access. It helps me to monitor my POV-Ray render farm
which runs on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

Give it a try, it is an early release. Feedback with bug reports and patches is
welcome.

Kind regards,
koppi

I updated the ccm source code to also monitor memory usage as well as CPU
temperature.

Kind regards,

thanks, downloaded, "todo" in the coming days.

fwiw, I know it's early days etc, but you do use GNU and the Linux distributions
... vary.  suggest the following in the Makefile:
CFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --flags ncursesw)
LDFLAGS = $(shell pkg-config --libs ncursesw)


regards, jr.

Are you aware of Dick Balaska's work:

BuckoSoft Animation Controller (bsac) is a client/server renderfarm distribution
system. The bsac manages many networked computers running the POV-Ray program to
distribute work and collect frames of an animation.
