I may be misunderstanding, let me clarify my set up and what i mean
I have an S19J solo mining currently on ckpool
I was thinking i could observe my stats using cgminer of my ASIC solo mining, if that's not true please let me know

No, you can't watch your Antminer stats with cgminer.

I've been running those commands earlier today as i was trying to figure it out before commenting here. When i do this, it starts mining with my GPU..which i currently have hashing away on an ETH pool

This section is for btc only, no support for altcoins.

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u your_BTC_Address -p x
I was hoping i could use CGMiner to just watch and not have it utilize any of the components of my PC

If you start cgminer without a usb miner attached, it act just like a observer for solo.ckpool.org, it will not mine then.
It will search for mining equipment an the usb, but if nothingb is attached, it will just display the pool messages like block high changes and#if someone of the pool member finds a block.
