Server Monitor
A minute-by-minute record of how the server is doing — and a plant that lives off it.
About
Server Monitor samples the machine every minute and keeps the history: CPU, RAM, swap, disk usage, disk read and write, network in and out, load averages and temperatures. You can look at the last hour, today, yesterday, a week or a month, with average, minimum and maximum for each metric, and click any point for the detail behind it. It also has Bit Garden. Plant a seed and it grows on your server's health — good numbers make it grow, sustained load damages it, and you can water it for a temporary reduction in penalties. It goes from seed to sprout to tree, comes in ten varieties, and can sit on your desktop as a widget. It is a joke that turns out to be a genuinely readable at-a-glance health indicator.
