A brief twist on Steven's command-line:

I like to see all states that aren't complete. This shows the resources
that go into failed state (if any) immediately, as well as the
CREATE_INIT stage that proceeds IN_PROGRESS:

heat resource-list -n5 overcloud | grep -v COMPLETE

Since this shows more states, there is a little bit more volatility to
the status display. It's a matter of personal preference how much
real-time info you want displayed.
