Could you build this?
No Interfacing with the Xen hypervisor to build a live resource monitor requires deep systems programming, domain-0 privileges, and low-level hypervisor API knowledge.
What it would actually take: The tool requires a systems programming language like C or Rust with a TUI framework (such as ratatui), interfacing directly with Xen's internal C management libraries (`libxenstat`, `libxenctrl`) via FFI or hypercalls. The hard part is managing privileged dom0 interactions, interpreting kernel hypervisor metrics, and maintaining compatibility across Xen hypervisor versions, which requires specialized virtualization systems engineering.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
