Netdata is a daemon that collects data in realtime (per second) and presents a web site to view and analyze them. The presentation is also real-time and full of interactive charts that precisely render all collected values.

It has been designed to be installed on every system, without disrupting the applications running on it:

It will just use some spare CPU cycles (check Performance).
It will use the memory you want it have (check Memory Requirements).
Once started and while running, it does not use any disk I/O, apart its logging (check Log Files). Of course it saves its DB to disk when it exits and loads it back when it starts.

You can use it to monitor all your systems and applications. It will run on Linux PCs, servers or embedded devices.

Out of the box, it comes with plugins that collect key system metrics and metrics of popular applications.

Really wanted to share this with all, but image upload doesnt seems to be working.

Have you see this type of cabling? Visited one office and found that this cable is connected from wall jack to an airport extreme, one end to the internet port and the second to the lan port! I have no clue why and how this worked. Something really new to me! :)

Feeling lucky! :)
Got a call from the vendor and he mentioned that there was some confusion about my machine, apparently the mobo and processor replacement was for another customer, and for my machine, it was just adding thermal paste as it was overheating. Got the machine back spending only $40 for checking for 2 days and fixing the issue :) Much better than spending around $500+ for the change. Thank god, machine works fine now, will update my xen and start working on few things.

@ambarishrh have not heard of it, but sounds interesting. I think a video explaining how to use it is in order!

Ive seen few videos https://youtu.be/3tNrlutqazQ

Recently read about a tool called Infection Monkey which is an open source breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform that allows organizations to discover security gaps and fix them.
