I like it, but why not use something like htop? [1] Perhaps it's not entirely comparable, but you do not need to open any extra ports or run any extra processes. It looks really nice though! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htop

I love htop too, but the great thing about scout_realtime is the couple minutes of context provided the charts. Sometimes, nothing beats seeing a chart to quickly see what's going on.

I've found MenuMeters really useful (only available on Mac though)

It's always instantly clear when something like iTunes or a Chrome helper starts eating up 105% CPU, and provides quick access to force quitting it. :)

Sorry to be the one posting a tangent (looks like a nice tool!), but please rewrite "for the modern man" to something more gender neutral.

Political correctness is such a depressing drain on the world. Leave it how it is. It's fine.

Reminds me of when they tried to rename Manholes to "Personnel Access Units" to avoid offending women.

If you're offended that something is named a 'manhole', you probably have too much time on your hands.

Here as well, running with Ruby 2.0.0.

Sorry - mind sharing the output of "top -l1 -n0 -u"? Looks like an issue parsing out the memory stats on OSX.

The landing page is on the gh-pages branch of the repo. I filed an issue for it here: https://github.com/scoutapp/scout_realtime/issues/6

Only reason I didn't file a PR myself was I wasn't sure what the best replacement would be (dev? sysadmin?), but this should be easy enough to fix if they're amenable.

EDIT: "Developer" as an alternative was merged very quickly. https://github.com/scoutapp/scout_realtime/pull/7

I can't tell if you're trolling or not...

The use of man in this context is androgynous. It's merely an abbreviated use of "mankind," which is an abbreviated use of "humankind." I'm sorry if you're upset by this wording, but it's not inappropriate.

Can you guys add a if/else clause in sinatra and add a FreeBSD logo?[1]

I see tux in my FreeBSD server and feels weird.

[1] https://github.com/scoutapp/scout_realtime/blob/master/lib/s...

ps. My photo-editing skills suck bigtime otherwise I'd do it.

EDIT: Doesn't seem to work properly under FreeBSD-10. No data is displayed. Apparently (as expected) uses Linux ProcFS structure to get data. So FreeBSD for now is not supported, keep the icon for later :-)

That's the first thing I thought. Please, please change it. Things are difficult enough for women in technology without things like that. I don't care what the rational is. It looks awful, and I'd be embarrassed to show that to women at work.

Thanks - I can reproduce with that output. Opened an issue on github - we'll fix:
