Monitorix
Monitorix is a free, lightweight, open source system
monitoring tool designed to monitor as many services as possible.
This application monitors CPU load and
temperatures to the users on the system. Network devices
activity, network services demand and
even the devices’ interrupt activity are also monitored. The current
status of any corporate server with Monitorix installed can
be accessed via a web browser.
It has been designed to be used under production Linux
servers, but due its
simplicity and small size you can use it to monitor embedded devices.
Features include:
- Monitors:
- System core (CPU load and temperatures, active
processes and memory allocation)
- Global or per-processor/core kernel usage (user, nice,
system, idle and I/O wait)
- Temperatures (HP ProLiant IML Agent and LM-Sensors with
HDDtemp support)
- Mounted filesystems and disk I/O
