Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

i need to visualize all logs from remote dir
You can do that with something like mtail. Basically write expressions that match your logs and produce metrics.
-
Tool to scrape (semi)-structured log files (e.g. log4j)
mtail is a standard tool for this.
-
Free netflow collector that forwards messages to a syslog server?
I use goflow2 to do something like this. I don't specifically use syslog itself for this, but mtail to generate the metrics.
-
How to easily gather IPv6 VS IPv4 usage on a web server?
I can recommend mtail. Here is a good example nginx script.
-
open-source tools to monitor JSON logs for unexpected patterns?
Convert your logs to metrics with mtail.
-
Server metrics monitoring and reporting for centos?
For nginx, you'll need to setup a log parser like mtail because it doesn't really have much for metrics to begin with.
-
How do you monitor webserver traffic?
mtail is an option if you have a set number of URLs. You'll need to either scrape the data it provides with prometheus, or send it to collectd, statsd, graphite, etc.

Another System Admin is always finding "problems" with my services but when I ask him to show me what is not working, it's working fine. Getting really annoyed.
Same thing with metrics, use mtail to parse dhcp logs. This way you can see graphs of requests and errors. Plus you can now write alerts for it in Prometheus.
-
Faster Alternatives to Logwatch
I use mtail. In addition to the real-time mode, you can also run it in "one shot" mode to count matches.
-
How to monitor log for keywords and trigger email when found?
I'm a fan of mtail for extracting data from logs. This fits well with the overall Prometheus Monitoring monitoring that I use.

Why can't MacOS just TELL ME which program is using the drive I'm trying to eject rather than just have me guess?
That said, after I learned about how to use lsof, I found this little free app called =Sloth (and its github page ), which is just a nice native Mac app serving as a GUI for lsof. It'll let you know exactly which process to quit or kill so your drive can eject happily.

Sloth – A Mac app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, etc.

I haven't reviewed obj-c code in over a decade, but I do know anything running with root authorization needs to be scrutinized carefully. And seeing blocks of code copy-pasted from stackoverflow, references to a 10 year old operating system, use of SIGKILL instead of the proper SIGTERM, for example, does not exactly inspire the necessary confidence.
