## Description

Keep an eye your Linux box using Slack - you will get notified with a(n):

- Warning if Ram usage exceeded 75%

- Alert if Ram usage exceeded 85%

- Alert if CPU loadavg/num_cpus > 1 (loadavg also takes into account swap usage, etc)

## Dependencies

- gcc

- curl

## Installation

To install the app, first create a new Slack app, and enable incoming webhooks for your target channel.

Then run:

```

sudo bash setup.sh

```

This will compile the project using gcc (tested using gcc version 9.2.1) and add the project as a systemd service. You will also get a prompt to test

your webhook with a "Hello World!" message.

## Usage

To take the app for a spin, start the service by doing:

```

sudo systemctl start slack_monitor

```

Test whether the app is working as expected:

```

sudo systemctl status slack_monitor

```

If things are working fine, you can enable the service so that it starts up on every startup:

```

sudo systemctl enable slack_monitor

```
