Simple Install

Monitoring in 2 lines of code. Configure via the web.

Effortless Installation

Getting started with Scout takes just two commands. In most cases, it takes less than five minutes to log on to your server, install the Scout agent, and start seeing data in our web interface. What could be easier than that?

Like any other install, you'll need SSH (Secure Shell) access to your server to install Scout.

Don't mess with scripts — configure online

Choose what you want to monitor through our web interface. Your choices are automatically & securely retrieved by each one of your monitored servers.

With Scout, you'll no longer need to keep monitoring scripts updated by hand on multiple servers. Scout keeps everything up-to-date for you.

Easy for sysadmins and non-sysadmins

Our philosophy is that products don't have to be complicated to be powerful. So you don't have to be a sysadmin to use Scout.

If you are a sysadmin, you'll appreciate the elegance and power that Scout brings to your monitoring tasks.

Runs on Ruby

Ruby is one of the fastest growing languages out there, and for good reason. Your servers probably all have Ruby on them already. But if not, don't worry — Installing Ruby is free, easy, and secure.
