# Monitor Memory and Disk usage

The scripts in this repo monitors for high memory usage and low disk space available.

It sends a notification using `notify-send` to the user.

For memory, when the condition is met, a signal is sent (e.g. `SIGSTOP`, `SIGKILL`).

## Configure

In `config.py` you could configure how often to monitor for memory usage and disk usage and what are the limits for each.

You could also configure whether to send the `STOP` signal or `KILL` signal (or something else). If you send the `STOP` signal, the process can be continued using `SIGCONT` signal.

You can also configure the icon used by `notify-send`.

## Install

Change the `WorkingDirectory` param in the two service files.

Copy the `mem_monitor.service` and `disk_monitor.service` files into `/etc/systemd/system`.

Then run:

```bash
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable mem_monitor.service
systemctl enable disk_monitor.service
systemctl start mem_monitor.service
systemctl start disk_monitor.service
```

Check if there might be any errors using `journalctl -fu mem_monitor.service` or `journalctl -fu disk_monitor.service`.
