# Feature - All the heartbeats (no matter **monitor** or **tail (logs)**) are automatic destroyed. - The `forever` processes are watched by a FSWatcher ([chokidar](https://www.npmjs.org/package/chokidar)), but not manually polling. - Communicated with `forever` through [NSSocket](https://www.npmjs.org/package/nssocket) directly, but not `forever` programmatic API. - Socket.io between client and server. - Monitor CPU and Memory usage of server in a real-time. - Monitor `forever` processes in a real-time. - Supports: process memory monitor, forever restart/stop. - Supports [ANSI color codes](#tail_logs). # Cautions - Web Interface is wrote by CSS3 && HTML5, so view it with the latest version of the browser (WebGL, Animation, WebSocket supports), e.g. Chrome, Safari and Firefox. - I've never test it on Internet Explorer / Windows. - Nodejitsu/forever has problem with `STOPPED` process, so if there is a `STOPPED` process, however, it can create instability, you'd better refresh the page manually (F5 / COMMAND + R), sometimes you need to restart `forever-web`. # UI/UX - Amazing and smooth animations. - High performance. Backend (without `--no-debug` option):
