- Auto-scaling Y axis with hard min/max error indicators
- Stats footer: current, min, max, mean, sample count
- Beautiful color themes including vampire 🧛
- ttyplot-compatible — drop-in for existing pipelines
Does Santana support custom data parsers for non-numeric streams like log event rates or request latency percentiles? Super clean tool for terminal workflows!

Thanks! Custom parsers aren't a thing yet but both of your use cases work today with a small upstream transform:
Log event rates — pipe through something like awk that counts events per interval and emits the count.
Request latency percentiles — if your log pipeline emits JSON (e.g. {"p50": 12, "p95": 48, "p99": 120}), Santana picks up all numeric fields automatically and plots them as multi-series. You can also use --jq .p99 to isolate a single path.
Would that cover your case?
