rtop-bot

rtop-bot is a bot front-end to rtop.

rtop can connect over SSH to Linux systems and display their vital system metrics without needing any agent on the target system. rtop-bot can do this when asked to, over HipChat or Slack. rtop-bot is independent of rtop.

rtop-bot is self-hosted. You can run it on a machine within your secure network from which it can SSH to target systems. When run, it will connect to Slack as a bot (or to a HipChat room as the user you specify), and listen for mentions:

you     | @rtop-bot status some.host
rtop-bot| [some.host] up 34d 20h 1m 51s, load 0.08 0.03 0.05, procs 1 running of 131 total
rtop-bot| [some.host] mem: 45.55 MiB of 489.57 MiB free, swap 0 bytes of 0 bytes free
rtop-bot| [some.host] fs /: 16.18 GiB of 18.55 GiB free
