Project author here. We don't want to exclude anyone - I updated it to "developers."

I'm a sysadmin - can I still use your tool?

Of course not.

Do you think we want admins sullying our glorious code?

:P

Have you thought of writing the metrics collection part (and eventually the whole thing) in Go? You would get the stand-alone distribution right away and would keep people from installing any extra dependencies.

EDIT: Fixed typo.

Yeah - we thought about this, but decided to get started in Ruby since it's the fastest way for us to ship. Go is definitely interesting.

Quick question. How much CPU usage/time does the monitoring tool itself utilize ?

We've clocked the CPU usage of the scout_realtime daemon at 1% on an Intel Xeon 2.40GHz CPU. Memory usage is around 22 MB. If you turn off the metric collection (by clicking the pause button on the web page), CPU usage will effectively drop to 0%, and you'll still be able to visit the web page and re-enable metrics at any time.
