Inquisitor

Inquisitor is a quick, light-weight system monitoring tool with plugin support. It has three modes of operation: client, server, standalone.

Backend Storage

Time series data

Time series data is stored in InfluxDB. There are plans to expand the backend storage by supporting other databases.

Plugins

Builtin

The following are plugins available by default.

• CPU
• Memory

Third-Party

Third-party support can be added by creating exeutable files in a plugins directory. Inquisitor will scan the plugins directory during startup. The plugins will be executed during metric collection.

Plugins are expected to have three values, delimited by a comma: Name, group, value. So long as those are outputted, Inquisitor will store the data in the backend storage.
