Stackeye
What is it?
Stackeye is small and lightweight metrics monitoring system. It's meant for projects where longterm and highly detailed metrics is not a priority (p.s. thats what Scout and New Relic are for).
What are the design decisions?
One of the main design aspects of this project was to have as little dependencies as possible (currently just Sinatra). All metric commands are executed locally and all data is stored locally in JSON files.
What does the future hold?
This project will continue to grow overtime but I would love some help from the community to really make it blossom into a great project. The following is a list of future must/nice to have:
- Metrics
- Ruby
- Rails
- SQLite
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- Alerts
- SMS
- OS
- Windows
- Mac OS
- Unix
