Resource Monitoring For Remote Applications

Summary

There are tools to do in-depth application profiling and there are tools to do system monitoring, but typically these tools are used by administrators or software developers. However, users are closest to their applications and know the specific problems that need to be solved, so putting tools into their hands can reap great results.

Remora is a superb tool for users that will help them get an idea about the resource usage of their application. It's not profiling, but a combination of profiling and system monitoring. Moreover, it’s easy to install, fairly light on resource usage, and can be a great help to users.
