## What it is
A small web application that streams live Linux vmstat system metrics (CPU, memory, IO) over WebSockets and renders them as real-time charts in the browser. It pairs websocketd with SmoothieCharts for a lightweight monitoring dashboard.

## Use cases
- view live linux system stats in a browser
- prettify vmstat output with charts
- monitor cpu memory and io on a server
- lightweight real-time system monitoring dashboard
- demo of streaming stats over websocket

## When to choose
- you want a zero-dependency, tiny live vmstat dashboard on a Linux box
- you prefer a simple browser page over a full monitoring stack

## When to avoid
- you need historical metrics, alerting, or multi-host aggregation
- you need a maintained solution - the project has had no releases since 2016
