+Monitorix is a free, open source, lightweight system monitoring tool designed
+to monitor as many services and system resources as possible. It has been
+created to be used under production Linux/UNIX servers, but due to its
+simplicity and small size can be used on embedded devices as well.
+
+It consists mainly of two programs: a collector, called monitorix, which is a
+Perl daemon that is started automatically like any other system service, and a
+CGI script called monitorix.cgi. Since 3.0 version Monitorix includes its own
+HTTP server built in, so you aren't forced to install a third-party web server
+to use it.
+
+Note:
+
+There are several runtime dependencies (like pflogsumm) I'm unable to test for
+all services. Keep an eye on /var/log/monitorix which will tell you.
