About ServerMonitor
From the official readme · v0.3.6Description
View your PHP error log, CPU and RAM usage, and view disk space all in one location. This is a new plugin under development. Currently it does not do terribly much, but we are constantly working on adding new and useful features.
Why use this plugin instead of the many others? ServerMonitor does not use PHP’s shell_exec, which is disabled by many web hosts for security concerns. Currently this plugin only supports Linux servers. Windows Server support is planned, but is a low priority.
For any bug reports or suggestions, let me know in the plugins support forum.
