They said they use it on their own production servers so of course I couldn't resist... http://scoutapp.com:5555/ Really nice looking monitoring, though. I think it's fun to see the stats scrolling by.
that 2.6 kernel tho

#102Nice. The play/pause should be one button that changes icon -- the current setup is a little confusing.
ah - thanks for the feedback, makes sense.
I will add that if you keep it as two buttons, the colors should be switched. Right now, the active button is black and the other is gray. But gray buttons say to me that they are disabled, so it looks like I can only hit the play button when it's already playing.

#103Regarding "What operating systems are supported?" and the answer of "scout_realtime relies heavily on the proc file system to fetch metrics. procfs is supported on most Linux-based distributions with the exception of OSX and Debian."
procfs is available on my Debian 7 servers, so scout_realtime just installed and runs fine on the few that I've tried it on.

And OS X is hardly a "linux distribution" :)

#105And I should add that this thing is awesome! It wouldn't install for me unless I was root, but that might be a ruby configuration thing, since this is also the first ruby app that I've ever touched.
It would be nice to have an option to have scout_realtime only listen on 127.0.0.1, so (as someone else already mentioned) we could just proxy to it with another web server and then wrap controls around that.
With my 10 minutes of poking around in the scout_realtime source and a bit of googling, I think the option would go here, in main.rb:
server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => 5555, :AccessLog => [])Re: Show HN: Real-time server monitoring in your browser

#109Did you roll your own SVG chart lib for this? If not, mind sharing which one you're using? It's very nice. If you were to make it so I can open a socket or websocket to it (perhaps on a second, internal port) and publish whatever data I want, that'd be all kinds of nifty. That is, make it so I can just start spraying numbers at ws://myhost:5556/Really%20Awesome%20Data and with that a nice auto-scaled chart magically…
I just built this yesterday: http://blog.vivekpanyam.com/plotter-plot-anything/. Inspired by Tasseo and Scout Realtime

#110Earlier quoted context omitted.
i think whats interesting is that people who use sentences such as "for the modern man" don't think about man as male at all and don't intend to offend anybody. It's only picked out by the ones who feel oppressed by gender issues (which are often males defending females - in fact, genetics also makes us behave that way, ironically.)
Of course they don't think about, and obviously they don't want to offend, and that is why some good people point this out, so that people think about it and pay attention. Sometimes biases are so entrenched that we don't feel them. They feel natural, and therefore neutral. But, if you want to make a change, than it's precisely those seemingly natural things that you need to change. You can keep using "man" or not, b…
Frankly, i think some people just like to complain about gender issues when there isn't much going on.
In some languages (ex: french), everything defaults to male-centric. Nobody cares or feels offended by it, and females have exactly the same rights as males.
