I just tried out the main product and while it's easy to setup i ran into snags with the plugins right away. Both redis and postgres (the first two i tried) failed to install and it took a bit of searching to figure out they had their own dependencies. When trying to install those dependencies i ran into issues with compatibility for a fresh ruby install.

Maybe you should concentrate on fixing your own dependency issues before you start pounding on Nagios (https://scoutapp.com/info/nagios_alternative) about the exact same issue.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

No, you're right... it's not inappropriate. But really, something like "for the modern admin" is more appropriate and should be used. There is no need for the "modern man", so it should be left out. The phrase of "modern man" was meant to contrast with old-school admins. For me, it brought up images of classic admins in server rooms either your straight-laced IBM types or your Berkeley Unix neckbeards. Take your pick…

Why not adminess? Or whatever female version would someone come up with after you'd use "admin".

This looks nice but that /s refresh it might cause issues, maybe add a setting so refresh can be set by user?

Shameless plug - If anyone is looking for a python/django alternative with refresh settings and remote access to the output data as json take a look at pyDash : https://github.com/k3oni/pydash .

For all my fellow CentOS/RHEL users here is a quick bash script for getting it running (assumes you don't have ruby 1.9 installed). # Install RVM and Ruby 1.9.3 curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh rvm install 1.9.3 # Install JSON gem gem install json # Install Scout realtime gem install scout_realtime # Start Scout realtime scout_realtime # Punch a hole in iptables on port 5555…

> curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

no.
