## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 10/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4685, "days_push": 1574, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, archived
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A Ruby-based daemon that streams realtime server metrics (CPU, memory, disk, network, processes) to a browser dashboard with smooth timeseries charts. It acts as a modern, chart-based alternative to the `top` command, accessed via SSH tunnel or open port.

## Use cases
- monitor server cpu and memory in browser
- realtime alternative to top command
- view disk and network utilization charts
- troubleshoot server performance with timeseries graphs
- watch top processes grouped by name
- self-hosted server metrics dashboard

## When to choose
- you want a browser-based realtime view of Linux server metrics
- you need disk and network metrics that top doesn't show
- you prefer smooth timeseries charts over flashing terminal numbers

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained or supported software
- you require long-term historical metric storage or alerting
- your servers are not Linux or lack Ruby 1.9.3+

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: monitoring, http-server, data-visualization
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: ruby
- tags: server-metrics, realtime-charts, top-alternative, process-monitoring, ssh-tunnel, devops, linux, web-server
