## What it is
Inspeqtor is a Go-based application infrastructure monitor that watches init-managed services, process memory/CPU, and host metrics like load, swap, and disk usage. It alerts or restarts processes when rule thresholds are breached and silences alerts during deploys.

## Use cases
- monitor redis mysql nginx services on a linux server
- alert when a process dies or changes pid
- restart a service when memory usage exceeds a threshold
- monitor host cpu load swap and disk usage
- silence monitoring alerts during deployments
- modern replacement for monit

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight monit alternative with zero runtime dependencies
- your services are managed by init.d, systemd, upstart, runit, or launchd
- you need simple threshold-based alerting and process restarts on a host

## When to avoid
- you need to monitor arbitrary processes not managed by an init system
- you need a full metrics dashboard or time-series storage
- you need actively developed features or modern cloud-native monitoring

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, alerting
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: cli
- tags: infrastructure-monitoring, process-monitoring, monit-alternative, systemd, init-systems, devops, linux, macos
