Revision history [back]

There are some CLI tools for checking topic statistics (i.e. this post), next to it is rosmon with it's nice UI and some node monitoring options. Nothing fully automated with warnings etc., I think.

I am not aware of a monitor node in ROS, if you find any better tool for it, please add it in the question/in the comments.
