Eye is a Ruby-based process monitoring and supervision tool inspired by Bluepill and God. It watches processes via pid files, restarts them on failure, and supports checks on CPU/memory, flapping triggers, and chained starts.

Use cases

  • keep my app processes alive and restart them when they crash
  • monitor cpu and memory usage of background daemons
  • daemonize processes with pid file management
  • replace god or bluepill for process supervision
  • restart a group of processes one by one with delays
  • run processes as a specific user and group

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, config-driven process supervisor on a single server
  • you are already comfortable with Ruby and want Bluepill/God features with fewer bugs
  • you need chained restarts, flapping detection, and resource checks

When to avoid

  • you need multi-node or container orchestration - use systemd, supervisord, or Kubernetes instead
  • your stack is not Ruby and you prefer a language-independent supervisor
  • you need modern actively developed tooling - releases are infrequent
