Upvoted, looks neat. This is potentially a huge security issue though so I'd love to see more history/reviews before running this.

Would love to learn more about this. Could you please share some more information?

What makes this a security issue?

Running an agent on every server that reports back to the master server is a huge security vector.

Running a daemon on a server that scrapes data is also a security vector.

How would you solve the problem of collecting data from servers?

Zabbix, Nagios, and a whole suite of other very widely used IT monitoring tools do this. What makes this project more of a security issue?
