Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat and ifstat. Dstat overcomes some of the limitations and adds some extra features.
For Debian users of Sleuthkit, /usr/bin/dstat has been renamed to
/usr/bin/datastat to avoid a name conflict. See bug #283709 for more
information.
Dstat allows you to view all of your system resources instantly, you can eg. compare disk usage in combination with interrupts from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval).
