Monocle Monitoring System
This document is a placeholder -- it will eventually be more visually
pleasing than this.
Overview
The goal of Monocle is to be the world's most user-friendly monitoring system.
Monocle has no configuration files, no GUI, and no web interface. There is a
single server program and several command-line tools to control it. It is
written entirely in Perl, which is available on all modern Unix and Linux
systems.
