Status](https://travis-ci.com/mfsoftworks/GoScout.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/mfsoftworks/GoScout)\n[![Code

designed to be run as a cronjob on every boot to run in the background.\nThe script will gather information:\n\n- UUID (Unique for each system to avoid overlapping hostname for multi-network monitoring)\n- Hostname\n- CPU\n- Memory\n- Network Usage\n- Network Cards\n- Hard Drives\n- System OS\n- System Uptime\n- UTC Timestamp\n\nThe executable will produce a JSON output at set intervals for use with any software or server accepting a JSON input.\nExample:\n\n```json\n{\n    \"hostname\": \"HOME-LAPTOP1\",\n    \"system\": {\n        \"name\": \"Windows\",\n        \"version\": \"10\"\n    },\n    \"uptime\" : 231199,\n    \"cpu_count\": 4,\n    \"cpu_usage\": 17.9,\n    \"memory_total\": 8440942592,\n    \"memory_used\": 6244225024,\n    \"memory_used_percent\": 74.0,\n    \"drives\": [\n        {\n            \"name\": \"C:\",\n            \"mount_point\": \"C:\",\n            \"type\": \"NTFS\",\n            \"total_size\": 536224985088,\n            \"used_size\": 167306108928,\n            \"percent_used\": 31.2\n        },\n        {\n            \"name\": \"D:\",\n            \"mount_point\": \"D:\",\n            \"type\": \"NTFS\",\n            \"total_size\": 463332921344,\n            \"used_size\": 49498419200,\n            \"percent_used\": 10.7\n        }\n    ],\n    \"network_up\": 54,\n    \"network_down\": 4150,\n    \"network_cards\": [\n        {\n            \"address\": \"127.0.0.1\",\n            \"address6\": \"::1\",\n            \"mac\": \"\",\n            \"name\": \"Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1\",\n            \"netmask\": \"255.0.0.0\"\n        },\n        {\n            \"address\": \"10.15.62.112\",\n            \"address6\": \"fe80::844d:a87:54ea:2100\",\n            \"mac\": \"1C-39-47-A6-4C-5E\",\n            \"name\": \"Ethernet\",\n            \"netmask\": \"255.255.0.0\"\n        }\n    ],\n    \"timestamp\" : \"2018-10-10T01:41:21+00:00\",\n    \"uuid\" : 180331603484325\n}\n```\n\nThe script includes a function to POST JSON to a remote server.\n\nThis script can be installed on several machines that report to a central monitoring server.\n\nThe destination, checking interval, sending attempts after failure and timeout between resending attempts can be set through arguments, use `goscout -h` for more.\n\n## Usage\n\nDownload the latest [release](https://github.com/mfsoftworks/GoScout/releases/latest).\n\nTo test the script output run with `goscout` or `goscout.exe` in the terminal.\n\n### **Linux Autostart**\n\nCreate a cron job to run the script on every boot.\n\nEdit cron with `crontab -e`.\n\nAdd the script at the bottom of the cron list as `@reboot /path/to/script/goscout`.\n\n### **Windows Autostart**\n\nTo create an autostart for Windows open start menu and search for `Task Scheduler`.\n\nSelect `Create Task`.\n\nEnter a name e.g. monitor.\n\nAdd new trigger at login.\n\nAdd a new action and select the `goscout.exe` executable.\n\n**Unselect** Stop task if it runs longer than 3 days.\n\nSelect Okay.\n\nA new task will be created that runs the python monitoring script in the background every time a user starts the system and logs in.\n\n## Author\n\nMF Softworks
