NetSnoop: Real-Time Linux System Anomaly Monitor and Dashboard

🖥️ NetSnoop - Real-Time Linux System Monitor

NetSnoop is a real-time, low-level system activity visualizer for Linux systems. It detects process bursts, high CPU/memory usage, and memory usage — all displayed in a beautiful interactive dashboard built with Streamlit.

📦 Installation

pip install netsnoop

After installing the package, run the setup script to generate necessary files:

netsnoop-init

This will:

• Install required packages (if not already)
• Create anomalies.csv and netsnoop_persistent.txt
• Add sample data
• Create dashboard/monitor launcher scripts (.sh and .bat)

🚀 Usage Guide

Step 1: Start the Monitor

python3 -m netsnoop.acm_monitor

This will begin real-time detection of:

• High CPU/memory usage
• Process bursts
• System overloads

Anomalies will be saved to anomalies.csv and logs to netsnoop_persistent.txt.

Step 2: Launch the Dashboard

In another terminal:

streamlit run netsnoop/dashboard.py

Then open your browser to: http://localhost:8501
