Here is an example of some custom stats easily called in screen with the “tsar” keyword.

Add the following to your .screenrc file:

bindkey -t tsar stuff 'watch --interval=1 "w;echo "";ps aux |sort -k3r|head -5;echo "";sar -u 1 1; echo "";sar -n DEV 1 1;echo "";free;echo "";echo "Established : $(netstat -an|grep -i estab|wc -l) Listening : $(netstat -an | grep -i list|wc -l)""^M'

This one gives me a quick realtime view of CPU usage, top CPU processes, network activity and memory usage.
