🧪 How to Run

# Give execution permission
chmod +x monitor.sh gui_monitor.sh html_report.sh

# Run monitor
./monitor.sh

# Launch GUI (dialog-based)
./gui_monitor.sh

# Generate HTML report
./html_report.sh

---

🐳 Run with Docker

docker-compose up --build

To rebuild:

docker-compose down
docker-compose up --build

---

📡 Send to InfluxDB

Make sure InfluxDB is running on localhost:8086 and create the database:

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8086/query --data-urlencode "q=CREATE DATABASE system_monitoring"

---

🧠 Optional Enhancements

• 🐍 Python Graph for memory:

python3 memory_chart.py

• 📊 Grafana Integration:

  • Add InfluxDB data source
  • Query metrics (e.g., cpu_usage, memory_usage)
  • Create beautiful dashboards

• 🌐 Host HTML reports via mini-server:

./serve.sh

Then go to: http://localhost:8080
