Radar checks

This repository contains some basic but useful checks to monitor :

• Uptime.
• Ram usage.
• Disk usage.
• Process status.

All scripts are written in the Python programming language. They use the excellent psutil module for maximum portability. There's also included a template that you can use as a starting point to code a check.

Documentation

All Radar checks provide help from the command line by passing the -h (or --help) command line argument.

Supported platforms

These set of checks rely on the psutil to properly work. As long as psutil is supported on your platform you'll be able to run them without issues.
