Does this solve the same problem that new relic does? If not, what is the difference?

The author should provide configuration so it does not get data from stats.json every second.

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.
Let me guess, you're a man?
Ok, it's too late for me to edit, so please forgive my hastily aggressive response. What I meant by it is that it is easy to dismiss complaints about "one-sidedness" if things are tilted in your favour.

How would you respond if theknown99 turns out to be a woman?
Actually I'm not sure. However, I certainly don't want to "out" theknown99 as either gender. I will add an addendum to my response as it is overly aggressive.
Well, since we're on the issue of political correctness, theknown99 could be transgender too :)

#65Cool idea! The interface is a tad heavy (for me) though, the fans of my laptop spun up.
I noticed that by looking at the memory usage of the ssh daemon, one can determine how many people are connected with ssh. Every open connection (even if you're just idling at the login phase) adds around three to five mb to memory use. I wonder what other information might be unintentionally relayed through these metrics.

#66Sorry to be the one posting a tangent (looks like a nice tool!), but please rewrite "for the modern man" to something more gender neutral.
Look, I'm all for encouraging more girls in STEM, and all that. My EE class mostly guys, and I'm sure we lost some diversity of viewpoints because of that. However, let's just ask nicely once - and then leave it at that. I would hate this to turn into another silly bike shedding flamewars on HN, where all the Social Justice Warriors come out of the woodwork, for their weekly feel-good topup.
Too late.

#67Did 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've been searching for something like that for a while now. A metrics web framework that consumes and renders json/edn would be interesting.
I've been using shopify/dashing for metrics display:

You can post JSON directly to each widget. It's also based on Sinatra.
Someone already created a widget for Rickshaw graphs, I suppose it could be adapted to use D3.js.

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.
"for the modern man" is a very gendered idiomatic phrase unrelated to mankind. https://www.google.com/search?q="for+the+modern+man" Note how all of the results are all about men and manliness, which is fine for gendered products and clothing, but doesn't really make sense for a piece of server monitoring software.
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.)

#69They 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

Just change it to "modern woman" and shut everyone up.
That's the thing now right? Where the english language has left us with lack of a non-awkward sounding gender neutral term we just the feminine version and it's ok. I know, I know, everyone is going to chime in with their version of a 'non-awkward sounding alternative. But the person who wrote this, wrote it, it didn't go to the committee of HN, and that person wasn't out to offend anyone, so ya know, let it go, let live, all that... No? I tried.
