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.

Project author here. We don't want to exclude anyone - I updated it to "developers."

Quick question. How much CPU usage/time does the monitoring tool itself utilize ?

We've clocked the CPU usage of the scout_realtime daemon at 1% on an Intel Xeon 2.40GHz CPU. Memory usage is around 22 MB. If you turn off the metric collection (by clicking the pause button on the web page), CPU usage will effectively drop to 0%, and you'll still be able to visit the web page and re-enable metrics at any time.

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 su…

Sorry - no FreeBSD support yet.

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.

Ha yeah - we opened up a port in iptables for this so we don't have to ssh tunnel in to see stats. Obviously, if you're concerned about exposing numbers, you can view via an ssh tunnel instead of opening a port.

I'm a sysadmin - can I still use your tool?

Let me guess, you're a man?

I'm assuming you're going to disregard their comment because of their gender? What does it matter what gender the parent comment poster is? They should have a voice too...

Actually, yes, I do tend to disregard claims that "everything is fine" from those who are not being aggrieved.

How would you respond if theknown99 turns out to be a woman?
