• CPU Usage Monitoring
• Memory Usage Monitoring
• Disk Usage Monitoring
• Service Status Monitoring
• Network Connectivity Checks
• Log Analysis and Troubleshooting
• Security Monitoring and User Activity Checks
• Backup and Cleanup Automation
• Interactive Menu Driven Toolkit
• User monitoring

Module Description

Health Check

Performs overall server health validation including uptime, load average, logged-in users and system status.

Disk Monitoring

Checks disk utilization and helps identify low disk space situations before they impact production workloads.

Memory Monitoring

Displays RAM and swap utilization to identify memory pressure and potential performance bottlenecks.

CPU Monitoring

Monitors CPU consumption and system load for performance troubleshooting.

Service Monitoring

Verifies whether important services are running and alerts administrators about failed services.

Network Monitoring

Performs connectivity checks and validates network availability using ping and other networking utilities.

Log Analysis

Reads and analyzes system logs to assist with troubleshooting and incident investigation.

Security Monitoring

Tracks user login activity, authentication events and basic security-related information.

Backup Monitoring

Automates backup verification and cleanup activities to improve operational reliability.

User Monitoring

user monitoring and reporting
