Sampler is by no means an alternative to full-scale monitoring systems, but rather fast and easy to setup development tool.
If spinning up and configuring [Prometheous with Grafana](https://prometheus.io) is complete overkill for you task, Sampler might be the right solution. No servers, no databases, no deploy - you specify shell commands, and it just works.
## Ok, then it should be installed on every server I monitor?
No, you can run Sampler on local, but still gather telemetry from multiple remote machines. Any visualization might have `init` command, where you can ssh to a remote server. See [SSH example](https://github.com/sqshq/sampler#ssh).
