Here we Go again 🔥.

Once upon a time, after work, I dived deeper into how the Go runtime works.

I was reading about Go runtime package and decided to make a lib for monitoring a system and send different metrics to a server. After creating an agent to collect metrics, I decided to take it a step further and build a server. I also wanted to explore the Go standard library and improve my skills with it. That's how this repository was created.

• As usual clone the repository
• From the root repository dir run

 - make build

To run the system, simply start the server and agent in separate terminals without any flags or environment variables.

 - cd build
 - ./server (optionally --help) or ./agent (optionally --help)

To run the system using docker compose, create .env file before. Run from the root dir:

 - cp .env.example .env
 - sudo docker compose build
 - sudo docker compose up

All environment variables are properly set for use with Docker Compose.

To make sure the system works correctly check logs or ping endpoint:

 http://$SERVER_ADDR:$SERVER_PORT/ping or localhost:8080/ping

To gather metrics, you can use various methods. Begin by using curl or a browser to access the root router:

 localhost:8080/
