     1.4 +Monitorix is a free, open source, lightweight system monitoring tool
     1.5 +designed to monitor as many services and system resources as possible.
     1.6 +It has been created to be used under production Linux/UNIX servers,
     1.7 +but due to its simplicity and small size can be used on embedded
     1.8 +devices as well.
     1.9 +
    1.10 +It consists mainly of two programs: a collector, called monitorix,
    1.11 +which is a Perl daemon that is started automatically like any other
    1.12 +system service, and a CGI script called monitorix.cgi.
    1.13 +Monitorix includes its own HTTP server built in (which is listening
    1.14 +by default on port 8080/TCP) to see the statistics graphs, so you
    1.15 +aren't forced to install a third-party web server to use it.
    1.16 +Just point your browser at http://localhost:8080/monitorix.
    1.17 +
    1.18 +All of its development was initially created for monitoring Red Hat,
    1.19 +Fedora and CentOS Linux systems, so this project was made keeping
    1.20 +in mind these type of distributions.
    1.21 +Today it runs on different GNU/Linux distributions and even in other
    1.22 +UNIX systems like FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD.
    1.23 +
    1.24 +It is currently in active development adding new features, new graphs
    1.25 +and correcting bugs in the attempt to offer a great tool for daily
    1.26 +systems administration of any professional server.
    1.27 +
    1.28 +Monitorix is an open source project and, just like any other open
    1.29 +source project, anyone can contribute with his own time and knowledge.
