## What it is
Ward is a simple, minimalistic server monitoring dashboard built with Java and Spring Boot that displays principal system metrics like CPU, RAM, and storage usage. It uses OSHI for cross-platform hardware information and offers an adaptive design with dark theme support.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu and memory usage of my linux server
- nice looking server status dashboard instead of raw graphs
- track server health on windows and linux
- self-hosted lightweight server monitoring tool
- view principal system metrics in a web dashboard

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, visually clean dashboard showing only principal server metrics
- you need a simple self-hosted monitor that runs on both Windows and Linux
- you prefer a lightweight alternative to heavyweight monitoring stacks like Prometheus/Grafana

## When to avoid
- you need historical metrics, alerting, or long-term data storage
- you require monitoring of multiple servers or clusters from one place
- you need fine-grained graphs and custom metric queries

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: windows, jvm, self-hosted
- tags: server-monitoring, spring-boot, oshi, system-dashboard, cpu-monitoring, dashboard, devops, linux, web-server
