Is there a High Sierra version of Windows 10 Resource Monitor?

[whitedragon101]

I recently discovered one of my holy grail things in Windows 10. Resource monitor windows 10 style. Its like task manager on steroids. It allows you to select a process and view all the files that process is writing to and in real time monitor the reads and writes those individual files.

This is so handy for troubleshooting. Is there anything in high sierra or a 3rd party tool that can provide this functionality?

I have gone from Mac only to using Mac and PC side by side now (PC for VR development) and there are a few little tech friendly touches I wish Apple would provide, little things like MB/s info for file transfers or the just better task manager and resource monitor.

The Unix shell my friend. It can do so much for you. lsof shows all file descriptors that are open. lsof "filename" shows all processes that have said file descriptor open. lsof -p "process ID" shows the opposite, all file descriptors open by said process.
macOS also has the incredible tool, dtrace, which all of Xcode's instruments are based off of. If dtrace is attached to a process it can spit more data about said process at you than you know what to do with.

For basic data you also have the obvious Activity Monitor. There's also top in the shell, and if you want something a little better, you can get htop.
