Metrics Agent

Metrics Agent is a lightweight, open-source system monitoring agent written in Go. It collects key metrics from the host system and exposes them for easy consumption by monitoring and observability platforms.

Features

• Collects CPU, memory, and disk usage metrics
• Configurable collection intervals per metric type
• Batches metrics to reduce network overhead
• Exposes metrics in a structured format for easy ingestion
• Lightweight and efficient, with minimal impact on host resources

Roadmap

• Add support for collecting network metrics
• Provide pre-built binaries for major operating systems
• Develop a plugin system for easy extensibility
• Integrate with popular monitoring systems out-of-the-box (e.g. Prometheus, InfluxDB)
• Enhance configuration options and reloading
• Improve test coverage and performance benchmarking
• Create comprehensive documentation and getting started guides
