Automated Server Health Monitor

📉 The Challenge

Managing 2 Data Centers and 3 Remote Sites involves checking disk space, RAM, and CPU load on over 50 servers daily.

• Manual Time: 45 minutes/day
• Risk: Human error (missing a full disk warning) leading to downtime.

💡 The Solution

I built a custom Python Automation Agent that runs as a cron job.

Key Features

1. Agentless Architecture: Uses Paramiko to SSH into servers without installing agents on them.
2. Smart Thresholds: Only alerts if usage > 90% (Disk) or > 95% (RAM).
3. Instant Alerts: Sends a formatted webhook payload to the IT Operations Slack channel.

🛠 Tech Stack

• Language: Python 3.9
• Libraries: paramiko, requests, dotenv
• Deployment: Docker Container on a management node
