SSHMon is a program designed to manage and monitor ssh connections.It has been tested on Linux and OSX with SSH ≥ 6.7.

SSHMon builds on top of the SSH "Control Master" feature, that facilitates port forwarding setup.

• SSHMon Features (e.g. SSH host definition and connection) are exposed through the GUI. As a consequence, extreme care should be taken to make sure it is only reachable by you. Use at your own risk.
• SSHMon is still at an early stage of development, as a result some things might not work and we might introduce some breaking changes... Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

• Nice GUI
• SSH port/socket forwarding management
• Configuration with YAML file
• Automatic start and retry of connection and port forwarding
• HTTP forwarding

Download thelatest release of SSHMon for your system and unpack it. Run thesshmon binary:

./sshmon

Then you can access the web GUI athttp://localhost:8377.

Go and have a look at theTutorial to set up your first host!

yarnyarn buildyarn start

You can set up SSH connections through the GUI or with a configuration file.

By default, SSHMon will create a config file located at~/.sshmon/config.yml.You also may specify your own configuration file on the command line.

Head over to theConfiguration page for more details.

Logging is handled by thebunyan library. Abunyan process is launched along with SSHMon and writes logs to stderr.

By default, if stderr is a TTY, the logs are pretty-printed, else they are written in a JSON format.You may use theBUNYAN_OPTS environment variable to choose which args are passed to thebunyan process, e.g.:

BUNYAN_OPTS='-l debug' ./sshmon

Docker and docker-compose are required.

You may run the test suite with:

yarntest

• So far, only public/private key authentication is supported.
• Before trying to connect to a host through SSHMon, make sure you can connect to it with SSH on the command line.

SSHMon was developped thanks to the following projects (this list is not exhaustive!):

• TypeScript
• React
• Redux
• Bulma
• Bulmaswatch
• Socket.IO
• Bunyan
• pkg

• Allow to change GUI address
• Offer multiple GUI themes
• Allow custom global SSH config options
• Use BatchMode forProxyJump SSH hosts
