我是从 坚强2002 Erlang Web 监控工具 知道这个工具的，用百度搜索时，还真没发现别人提到这个工具，从他的博客里确实能学到好多东西，大家有空去看看。

下面是官方的介绍：

Bigwig is a suite of web-based tools for the Erlang VM, like webtool.

Tools that we currently include custom versions of:

• "etop" - see which processes are using the most cpu/heap/reds/etc
• "rb" - browse SASL reports
• "appmon" - explore application supervision hierarchies

Also included is a VM dashboard with release_handler details, loaded applications, and VM settings.

Conceived for Spawnfest 2011, SMELLS LIKE BEAM SPIRIT.

项目地址：

https://github.com/beamspirit/bigwig

下载，编译，启动

cd ~/Source

git clone https://github.com/beamspirit/bigwig.git

这个项目也是使用 rebar 构建的，看来rebar在开源项目里用的还真是不少。

获取依赖项

./rebar get-deps

编译，并启动.

./start-dev.sh

注意：我Erlang版本是 R15，所以需要修改 rebar.config

{require_otp_vsn, "R15"}.

启动时，我遇到一个错误，{error,{not_started,jsx}}

多谢坚强2002提醒，手动启动依赖项，

这里，我修改 bigwig.erl start 方法，增加一行启动 jsx app的代码，如下：

start() ->
    ensure_started(crypto),
    ensure_started(sasl),
    ensure_started(cowboy),
    ensure_started(jsx),
    application:start(bigwig).

重新 ./start-dev.sh，成功。

administrator@ubuntu:~/Source/bigwig$ ./start-dev.sh
==> cowboy (compile)
==> jsx (compile)
==> bigwig (compile)

接下来在浏览器访问 http://127.0.0.1:40829/ 就可以看到Web监视器了。这个我想对于远程监视服务器状态还是不错的。
