Bitcoin Cash Node Monitor (BCH).

I am running my local BCH node for solo mining and thought I would create a script to monitor the node's activity and display various related data. This simple monitoring tool is perfect for BCH, BTC and other SHA256d algorithm nodes that use bitcoind, bitcoin-cli node files that are system installed. I hope I can contribute with this small project to the community and many of you will enjoy my creation.

What are the current features?

Node & System section:

BCH Version = the current version of the node you are running.
CPU Usage = the CPU usage that your computer is utilizing overall and specifically what the node is utilizing.
RAM Usage = the memory usage that your computer is utilizing overall and specifically what the node is utilizing.
Disk Space = the amount of disk space used for the node's 'blocks' and 'chainstate' directories specifically.

Blockchain Data section:

Height = the current block height and also what percentage the node has been synced.
Difficulty = the current network difficulty.
Net Hash = the current total network hash rate.
Uptime = the exact time since the node has been running.

Network Status section:

Total Connected Peers= the sum of the number of outbound and inbound peers the node is currently connected to.
Outbound = the number of outbound peers the node is currently connected to.
Inbound = the number of inbound peers the node is currently connected to.
Last Updated = date and time stamp to display that the application is running and monitoring the node.
App. Version = application version number.

Outbound Peers section:

Outbound Peers = outbound peers' IP Address, port and latency data in milliseconds. Each table can hold 20 lines. When you have more than 20 peers, the script automatically creates another table. Peers are listed in the order of their latency number.

Inbound Peers section:

Inbound Peers = inbound peers' IP Address, port and latency data in milliseconds. Each table can hold 20 lines. When you have more than 20 peers, the script automatically creates another table. Peers are listed in the order of their latency number.

What are the upcoming features?

I am open to feedback and future requests to enhance the capability of this application. Please do not hesitate to write up an issue if you notice anything not working properly. Alternatively, you can reach out via Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Options4Good/
