Yeah, having looked at what the script does I decided to 'containerize' the agent, and that led to other issues like configuring email alerts etc.

I was already a week deep into looking at various options and had to deliver on basic metrics and alerting, so I figured a couple of bash scripts, that log into local files with log rotation, systemd, and a dump/memory only receiving end running on nodejs for the alerts would be much faster and easier to maintain.

So far so good.
