server monitoring

This Bash-first playbook shows how to monitor and auto-heal MCP servers on Linux using systemd timers and a small health-check script: curl/jq-based liveness checks, webhook alerts, try-restarts with cooldown, TLS certificate age checks, tidy logging/rotation, and optional Prometheus metrics via node_exporter’s textfile collector; simple, auditable uptime without heavyweight monitoring.

Guide to building a tiny, fast Rust daemon that samples CPU/memory, learns a rolling baseline via robust median/MAD z-scores, and flags anomalies in real time. It streams JSON for Bash-first routing (jq, curl, Slack), runs as a systemd service, validates with stress-ng, and offers tuning and extensions—delivering self-hosted, auditable monitoring in a single static binary without SaaS lock-in.

Turn noisy ops data into clear, actionable insights with tiny, auditable Bash scripts that pipe prompts to local (Ollama) or cloud LLMs via curl and jq. The guide ships a minimal llm.sh adapter and ready-to-use tools for log summarization, diff risk reviews, alert triage (JSON), safe NL-to-command suggestions, and runbook Q&A (ripgrep+LLM), with setup, security tips, and human-in-the-loop safeguards.
