Describe the problem you're observing

currently I have arcstat, arc_summary, zpool status and zpool iostat (please correct me if there are more tools)
It would be awesome to combine all information (including top-like reports for zfs kernel modules and processes) into a single dashboard like atop or nmon does for the os in general. ideally tunables should be shown in a separate view like powertop does.

Describe how to reproduce the problem

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the system logs

there is also dstat --zfs-arc --zfs-l2arc --zfs-zil

Such a thing would be nice, especially if it could display IO load and latencies on a _per-dataset level_.

[RubenKelevra]

Would be nice, if we can view which VM on which ZVol is causing issuing how much I/O to ZFS in which size etc. and how many real disk reads/writes result from this, also the Arc hitrate would be interesting per ZVol as well as the CPU-Usage from ZFS per ZVol.

A backlog-count in the log-device per ZVol would also help to debug excessive loads on these devices. :)
