## What it is
Weave Scope is a monitoring and visualization tool that automatically generates a real-time topology map of Docker and Kubernetes applications, letting users inspect containers, processes, and hosts from a browser. It also supports direct container management actions like pausing, restarting, and launching terminals, and is extensible via plugins.

## Use cases
- visualize docker container topology
- monitor kubernetes microservices
- troubleshoot containerized applications
- see which container uses most cpu or memory
- manage containers from a browser
- map microservices architecture in real time

## When to choose
- you need a visual map of container and microservice dependencies
- you want in-browser container management like exec and restart
- you run legacy Docker/Kubernetes setups and accept unmaintained software

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained or supported tooling - the project is deprecated and no longer maintained
- you need long-term metrics storage or alerting rather than live visualization
- you require support for the latest Kubernetes versions or security patches

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: monitoring, data-visualization, container-runtime, container-orchestration
- domain: monitoring, microservices, self-hosted
- platform: go, self-hosted
- tags: deprecated, container-monitoring, topology-map, kubernetes-dashboard, troubleshooting, containers, devops, docker, kubernetes, linux
