Jahmon Monitoring Agent code. The Monitoring Agent is deployed to all systems that require monitoring. It performs checks
on the monitored box and send the gathered metrics to the Monitoring API.
The Monitoring Agent is a system for gathering metrics and sending them to
the Monitoring API. In its basic configuration, the Agent collects metrics
on various aspects of the host system, but may be extended with Python-based
plugins or statsd-compatible clients. Many plugins are included, and some of
these may be used to gather metrics against remote systems and services as well.
