Develop Server Health Monitoring Script

[djeada]

Description

We need a robust bash script capable of continuously monitoring server health. This script should focus on key performance metrics like CPU usage, memory usage, and disk utilization. The goal is to ensure we have real-time insights into our server's health and are alerted proactively in case of potential issues.

Objectives

• Continuous Monitoring: The script must run as a background process, continually checking system health metrics.
• Key Metrics: Monitor the following parameters:
  • CPU Usage
  • Memory Usage
  • Disk Space Utilization
• Alerting Mechanism:
  • Integrate an alert system to send notifications when metrics exceed certain thresholds.
  • Alerts can be sent via email initially. Future enhancements can include integration with monitoring tools like Nagios or Prometheus.
• Logging: Maintain a log of all detected issues for audit and analysis purposes.
• Configurability: Allow thresholds for alerts to be easily configured.
