The year at Scout - 2014 edition
2014 was a year of major updates to Scout. Some stats on what's been a fun year:
Product Highlights
- Scout
Realtime - In January, we released our open-source standalonerealtime monitoring agent. Scout Realtime was the second most popular repository on Github during its release week (trailing Popcorn - we'll take the runner-up spot behind free movie streaming). - New Server View UI - In February, we released our new d3-powered server view interface and introduced automatic process monitoring. We think there's no better single-page view of your server's health.
- New Dashboards UI - July brought our new dashboards UI. From quick ad-hoc charts to a persistent display on an external monitor, we think there's no better way to view your key metrics than your new dashboards.
- New API - in September we debuted our new RESTful API.
- New
Realtime Charts BETA - in December we announced our newrealtime charts experience. Viewing every-second-updating charts has never been easier.
