## What it is
Exhibitor is a supervisor system (co-process) for Apache ZooKeeper that provides instance monitoring, backup/recovery, cleanup, and a web UI for visualization. It was originally developed at Netflix and is published as JVM binaries on Maven Central.

## Use cases
- monitor zookeeper cluster health
- automatically restart failed zookeeper instances
- back up and recover zookeeper data
- visualize zookeeper ensemble status in a web ui
- manage zookeeper configuration across instances

## When to choose
- you run a zookeeper ensemble and want automated supervision and monitoring
- you need a web dashboard for zookeeper instance status and config

## When to avoid
- you need actively developed tooling - the project has had no releases since 2019
- you are not using Apache ZooKeeper

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, backup, self-hosted, gui
- domain: microservices, monitoring, databases
- platform: jvm, cross-platform, self-hosted
- tags: zookeeper, supervisor, ops-dashboard, netflix, devops
