Hi everyone,
I want to draw your attention to a nice tool that [we](
http://ais.uni-bonn.de) developed and are
using in all our ROS activities. [rosmon](
https://wiki.ros.org/rosmon) is a roslaunch-compliant launch
tool for ROS, especially designed for developer friendliness and interactive monitoring of long-running
ROS processes, e.g. for competitions or demonstrations.
Just a short teaser:
* Start/stop/restart single nodes using a modern console UI, ROS service calls, or an rqt plugin.
* Attach to a running node process with gdb with two keystrokes. In case your node dies without gdb attached, rosmon automatically collects a core dump and launches gdb against the core dump on request.
* stdout/stderr are separately captured per process and annotated, ensuring overview (no more 'who is printing this message?').
For details please check out the [ROS wiki page](
https://wiki.ros.org/rosmon) - there are many small details which make the life of a ROS developer a little bit easier.
rosmon has been open-source for quite some time (developed for the DARPA Robotics Challenge 2015), but we now provide binary packages through the ROS build farm for ROS Lunar, Kinetic, and Melodic - which is a nice time for an official announcement :-)
We are looking forward to thoughts, feedback, bug reports, or pull requests!
