M-API

What is it?

Monitor API let's you monitor your system via a RESTful API.

This project uses the lovely Rust for the backend and the venerated Ruby for the web server...

Did I mention this program uses FFI programming? It's my first FFI-based project, and the performance may not be optimized.

That being said, this project is to help me learn Ru{st|by} FFI programming. Is it serving its purpose? Absolutely.

For more information on Rust FFI programming, please visit The Rust FFI Omnibus.

ATTN:

This repository is not ready for any production use, and probably never will be. For one, this is a project to help me learn FFI programming; production use should have the web server reimplemented in pure Rust.

Also, features need to be implemented, such as additional system monitoring endpoints and API authorization.

That said, please feel free to mess with the software.

There are two files you will need to use:
