Server Monitor desktop widget
The Kepo Server Monitor plugin connects over SSH and shows core server metrics in a desktop widget.
Many server checks are repetitive: is it online, is CPU high, is memory tight, is disk close to full?
Opening a terminal or monitoring dashboard for each check can be too heavy.
Server Monitor puts one remote server health view into Kepo.
A server widget is for fast health checks, not for replacing your monitoring stack.
