  • You may have a bit of a hard time finding something that’s completely FLOSS that’s not on the older side (the sar visualizer being a Java desktop application being a consequence of that age). There are various ways to dump resource usage into a time series database like Prometheus (Apache2), InfluxDB (Apache2/MIT), or VictoriaMetrics (Apache2) and then visualize it with a frontend (Grafana, APGL). The database is going to be the tricky part. All of the time series DBs I’m aware of are permissively licensed. Grafana may be a good fit for you, however. It’s written in Go so it’s relatively light, although it obviously requires a browser to interact with.



  • Was this done according to proper clean-room design principles? If so, then imo the GPL is still working as intended. The company had to spend a fuckton of money and time getting one engineer to read the source and describe what was done to other engineers, and then ensure that one engineer never ever worked on the project again.

    If they didn’t do that then they violated the GPL and someone should report them to the SFLC.
