monitor

Basic remote monitoring tool.

monitor daemon connects to a remote host at every interval and collects the following information

• Total number of processes running in the system and the increase/decrease of the process count since the last monitoring.
• Top 5 processes by memory usage (list pid of the process, memory consumed and complete command line for the process).
• Percentage disk space usage in /var partition and the change since last monitoring round.
• Check the new contents of syslog for the keyword "ERROR" (case insensitive) since the last monitoring round.

Requirements

• Ensure passwordless SSH login is setup before executing the tool. A couple of references to setup it up.
