A resource monitoring agent for Windows Server

giraffi-powershell-agent is an agent for monitoring Windows Server.

The agent installed in your server environment can collect and post data (memory usage and CPU load average)
to the specific Giraffi API over SSL.

The agent is designed to work with the Windows Task Scheduler so you can set up the agent to run whenever
you like (once a day, every 5 minutes, etc.).

The agent is a Windows PowerShell script. You’re free to examine and change its source code.

Requirements

• PowerShell 2.0 or later.
• Giraffi APIKEY. *Giraffi is a monitoring service.
