I would like to find something like gkrellm for Mac

I have a linux dev server that I am looking at and has been getting intercepted at some points lately, so I would like to better keep an eye on it. I used to use Gkrellm, but it was a pain to try and get Gkrellm to build my Mac.

Apart from the X server remotely (which would not be optimal), I think I am looking for alternatives to Gkrellm.

I need a program that will allow me to see the I / O processor, memory, processes, etc. on a remote server running Linux. I am on a Mac.

If you're looking for something simple and almost certainly already installed on a Linux server, you can SSH into a Linux machine and use tools like top , vmstat, and lsof to see what that means.

If you still want to test Gkrellm on Mac, you can follow this procedure

# sudo port install gkrellm


If you have this error:

Error: Org.macports.activate object returned: Registry error: xorg-xproto 7.0.16_0 is not registered as installed. [...] Error: State 1 encountered during processing.

Do it

# sudo port clean xorg-xproto
# sudo port install xorg-xproto

And proceed with the installation

# sudo port install gkrellm


Now if you have this error:

Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command "cd" / opt / local / var / macports / build / _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gtk-doc / work / gtk-doc-1.11 "& &. / configure --prefix = / opt / local --with-xml-catalog = / opt / local / etc / xml / catalog "returned error 1 [...] Error: State 1 encountered during processing.

Do it

# sudo port clean gtk-doc
# sudo port install gtk-doc

And last

# sudo port install gkrellm


To run gkrellm

# gkrellm

You can use Growl for this purpose. It is possible to send Growl messages from a Unix machine using netgrowl.py , which masquerades as growlnotify, but everything is written in python.

Then you can start a process on the server that monitors other bits and also prints out notifications about over-limits or whatever.

This would be a manual solution, but we're on Stack Overflow, so the programming related stuff is go :)

(Oh, and the netgrowl.py page has some links to similar projects in other languages, if that's your thing.)

You can find a tougher monitoring tool like zabbix. https://zabbix.org
