Proactive self-monitoring of infrastructure, services, and health. Tracks disk/memory/load, service health, cron job status, recent errors. Auto-fixes safe issues. Triggers on: health check, heartbeat, monitor status, service status, infrastructure check.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Self Monitor
Proactive self-monitoring: infrastructure, services, and health.
## Usage
Run during heartbeats or scheduled checks.
### 1. Infrastructure Health
```bash
# Disk usage
df -h / | awk 'NR==2 {print $5}' | tr -d '%'
# Memory usage
free -m | awk 'NR==2 {printf "%.0f", $3/$2*100}'
# Load average
uptime | awk -F'load average:' '{print $2}' | awk -F',' '{print $1}'
# Top processes by memory
ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -10
# Top processes by CPU
ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -10
```
**Thresholds:**
| Metric | Warning | Critical |
|--------|---------|----------|
| Disk | > 80% | > 90% |
| Memory | > 85% | > 95% |
| Load | > 2.0 | > 4.0 |
### 2. Service Health
```bash
# Check if a process is running
pgrep -f "your_process_name" >/dev/null && echo "OK" || echo "FAIL"
# Check HTTP endpoint
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:8080/health
# Check systemd service
systemctl is-active --quiet nginx && echo "OK" || echo "FAIL"
# Check Docker container

How to install
mdr add suryast/free-ai-agent-skills/self-monitor@sha256:d489546849ac046eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
