SSHmon
A GUI tool to manage and monitor SSH connections with automatic port forwarding and configuration via YAML.
What is SSHmon?
SSHMon is a desktop application that provides a graphical user interface for managing and monitoring SSH connections. It simplifies the setup of SSH port forwarding and socket forwarding through an intuitive GUI and YAML-based configuration, automating connection handling and retries. The tool is built on top of SSH's Control Master feature, making it easier to maintain persistent tunnels and forward HTTP traffic.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers who regularly manage multiple SSH connections and need a visual tool to simplify port forwarding and connection monitoring.
Developers choose SSHMon because it replaces complex command-line SSH configuration with a user-friendly GUI, reduces manual errors in setting up port forwarding, and provides automatic retry and connection management. Its YAML configuration support allows for both quick GUI setup and reproducible, version-controlled configurations.
