#### Lightweight, self-contained Linux server monitoring tool

Kula is a lightweight, single-binary Linux server monitor. It collects
system metrics every second straight from /proc and /sys, stores them in a
built-in tiered ring-buffer engine, and serves them over a real-time web UI
dashboard and a terminal TUI. Zero external dependencies, no external
database — just install and go.

Collected metrics include CPU, GPU, load, memory, swap, network, disk I/O
and usage, thermals, battery, processes, containers (Docker/podman/cgroups)
and application probes (PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, nginx, apache2).

This snap uses STRICT confinement. After installing, connect the
observation interfaces so Kula can read system-wide metrics:

```
 sudo snap connect kula:system-observe
 sudo snap connect kula:hardware-observe
 sudo snap connect kula:mount-observe
 sudo snap connect kula:network-observe
 sudo snap connect kula:docker        # optional: Docker collector
```

The daemon starts automatically and listens on <http://localhost:27960> by
default. Edit /var/snap/kula/current/config.yaml and run
`sudo snap restart kula.daemon` to apply changes.

## Enable snaps on elementary OS and install Kula

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed on elementary OS from the command line. Open *Terminal* from the Applications launcher and type the following:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
