What This Skill Does
Monitors cron jobs, processes, disk usage, and gateway health for agents running 24/7. Checks log freshness (not just PID) to detect stuck processes, auto-restarts crashed services, rotates oversized logs, and only alerts when something actually breaks.
When to use it
- Detecting cron jobs with consecutive errors and alerting immediately
- Auto-restarting a Node.js process when its log file goes stale
- Rotating log files that grow beyond a size threshold
- Checking gateway status on every heartbeat and restarting if down
- Running silently in the background and only surfacing real problems
