alt Hacker NewsInteresting project. The README made the architecture clear for me: direct `/proc`/`/sys` reads, fixed-size ring-buffer tiers, single binary, no external DB.
I think the highest-leverage addition now would be one small benchmark table in the README/HN post for a tiny VPS (say 1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM): idle RSS, CPU%, disk write rate, and how much history the default 250/150/50 MB tiers actually retain.
That would answer the "why not Netdata?" question much faster, because the differentiator seems to be predictable resource usage rather than just another dashboard.
Netdata was actually THE reason I wanted to create my own real-time monitoring system. When I first came across Netdata, it was everything I needed, and its dashboard was fast, clean, and easy to use. But ever since they created the v3 dashboard and started aggressively advertising their cloud services, it became off-putting to me. Thank you for your suggestions, noted!
