Scout APM

Stream realtime server and process metrics to your browser! On the server you want to monitor: install the gem: gem install scout_realtime start the daemon: scout_realtime start On your local computer: create an SSH tunnel to your server: ssh -NL 5555:localhost:5555 user@ip_or_hostname (where user@ip_or_hostname is the same as you usually use to SSH to your server) Point your browser to http://localhost:5555 When you're done, you can stop the daemon with: scout_realtime stop Scout realtime is a better top command: it gives you disk, memory, network, CPU, and process metrics.
