I work on Windows 7 most of the time. I have a linux machine whose process I need to monitor from my Windows machine. Instead of ssh'ing into the linux machine and doing top, I want to install some application on my windows which would establish a connection to my linux machine and show me the memory usage of the processes in the application's GUI. Is there a freeware like this ? I am pretty sure there is something out there that i can use.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

    Hi and welcome to SU. Software recommendations are off-topic here (see tour). That said, any application you install would still need to connect and authenticate to the remote sever so I don't see how it would be simpler than using ssh/top. The only alternative would be doing it over the web, can you create a file on the server that is accessible to the internet?

The metrics that you're describing can all be sent using SNMP so monitoring them remotely is not too much more than setting up a Cacti or Nagios instance (depending on your needs) and configure it to look to the specific SNMP events that you wish to monitor.

You can even host the cacti / nagios service on your linux host and then just access the web UI.
