Can I ask why? The information presented is really very basic. There are more in depth tools to get, and record, this information.

Personally, I would rather get system information from outside the running webapp.

It's an easy way to keep an eye on things.

Site a little sluggish? This provides a way of quickly checking to see if it's anything obvious.

A related project that I find very useful is django-memcache-status:

Update: though of course these both use the same hack to work (overriding admin.site.index_template) so they won't work at the same time.

Just incase anyone is wondering, psutil is the real magic behind these kind of projects. Those guys did a heroic job on making that app.

I wonder if it'll be compatible with a future official update of the admin, though.

I get NoSuchProcess exceptions whenever I try to access the admin with it enabled. I love the idea though.

Usually you can inspect the frames of your stack trace and find out which program your are missing.

Nice, anyone tested?

Me here. The only thing you need to do is that adding one line to INSTALLED_APPS.

Plug and play.

I'm also interested in what the overhead would be. I imagine it will only run the monitors when the admin page is open.

I think that is the case. As far as I see, it extends admin/index.html template, and calls some templatetags.

Seems to work nicely with simple pip install.

Might be nice to be able to link processes to log files ...

just tested it.

look super cool.

works good! Awesome job
