13 Moomps is a monitoring daemon which works using dashboard files created
14 by the moodss (Modular Object Oriented Dynamic SpreadSheet) graphical
15 application. The dashboard files contain the definition of thresholds,
16 data cells to record, definitions of formulas, ... Thresholds, when
17 crossed, create messages in the system log, possibly trigger the send‐
18 ing of email alert messages and the execution of user-defined scripts.
19 It is also possible to use a database as a storage mean, so that data
20 history is for example available for presentations and graphs, via com‐
21 monly available spreadsheet software.

23 This manual is very succinct and is to be used as a quick reminder for
24 the user. Complete and detailed documentation can be found in the
25 accompanying moomps.htm, database.htm, ... HTML documentations.

27 Moomps is usually started as a daemon, using the related operating sys‐
28 tem utilities. You can also start moomps from a terminal using the
29 options described below.
30 After the eventual options described above, specify any number of
31 moodss generated configuration files (.moo files) or directories. For a
32 directory, moomps will load all .moo files in that directory as if they
33 were directly passed on the command line.
