Sysmon is an excellent tool written in GOLang for linux servers. It works similar to top command providing the user with the best of info and can be used as a first responder tool in case of a load overage.
Features so far on Sysmon
The sysmon tool currently does provide the live info from the access logs and also monitor the connections on to the server along with the mysql connections. It looks for patterns and report the most hitting IP address if any or share the insight on what the current load is about
Latest Feature
The most recent build did add reporting for the current time period which provides the details on what was causing the outage and the most probable cause for the event.
Future of Sysmon
While the current tool is robust the historical data is to be provided to the tool to be most efficient and easier to track on future events. Currently tracking history is going to be trouble as it has to either be ran continuously via terminal or via cron to get the reports created.
