As ibizaman wrote, that JSON output is not appropriate for human consumption.

I don't think the issue is having a dump of everything at a moment from /proc is that useful, since it gives you a "snapshot" of what happened when you collected the info.

What probably would be better is to take the advice and tools mentioned by Netflix in their Linux Performance Analysis in 60 seconds[0] and make some generic script to just kick it all off in a screen or tmux to give a quick overview for the admin.

I've been thinking about doing this myself for a while, but haven't gotten around to it.

Although it's great to have everything gathered in one place (and what's everything, eh?), the json output is clearly not human readable. A 3am debugging will be difficult with that. A curse interface is a requirement IMHO.
