✨ OS(Monitoring) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to os_mon — the manual page for the OS Monitoring Application 💖 this is version os_mon 2.12 and like. it's giving sysadmin but make it cute. iykyk.

💅 DESCRIPTION

🦋 Description

so the operating system monitor, <pink>OS_Mon</pink>, is literally the girl who watches everything, and she comes with these services:

  • cpu_sup — CPU load and utilization supervision (Unix) 🔥
  • disksup — Disk supervision (Unix, Windows) 💾
  • memsup — Memory supervision (Unix, Windows) 🧠
  • os_sup — Interface to OS system messages (Solaris, Windows) 📨

now here's the part where she's chill: to simplify usage of OS_Mon on distributed Erlang systems, it is not considered an error trying to use a service at a node where it is not available. and bestie there are like three reasons that could happen — either because OS_Mon is not running, or because the service is not available for that OS, or because the service is not started. 🙈

instead of being dramatic, a warning message is issued via error_logger and a dummy value is returned. which dummy value exactly? that's specified in the man pages for the respective services, so go check those 💜

🎀 Configuration

when OS_Mon is started, by default all services available for the OS, except os_sup, are automatically started. iconic default ngl. but you can change this configuration using the following application configuration parameters:

  • start_cpu_sup = bool() — specifies if cpu_sup should be started. defaults to true. ⭐
  • start_disksup = bool() — specifies if disksup should be started. defaults to true. 🍓
  • start_memsup = bool() — specifies if memsup should be started. defaults to true. 💖
  • start_os_sup = bool() — specifies if os_sup should be started. defaults to false. 💀

configuration parameters effecting the different OS_Mon services are described in the respective man pages, so no gatekeeping here, go read them 🫶

see config for information about how to change the value of configuration parameters — that's your how-to-slay guide fr fr ✨
