Earth allows you to find files across a large network of machines and track disk usage in real time. It consists of a daemon that indexes filesystems in real time and reports adisk usage in real time. It consists of a daemon that indexes filesystems in real time and reports all the changes back to a central database.

This can then be queried through a simple, yet powerful, web interface. Think of it like Spotlight or Beagle but operating system independent with a central database for multiple machines with a web application that allows novel ways of exploring your data.

Features:

  • A cross-platform daemon that indexes and tracks changes to filesystems in real time
  • Simple, yet powerful web front-end for querying and browsing filesystems
  • Web Service API (REST) for other applications to interface with Earth
  • Novel interface for exploring the contents of filesystems
  • Find files by name including wildcard searches
  • Explore a filtered version of the filesystem
  • Graphical hierarchial view of disk space usage
