It has been +created to be used under production UNIX/Linux servers, but due to its +simplicity and small size may also be used to monitor embedded devices as +well. + +It mainly consists mainly of two programs: a collector, called monitorix, which +is a Perl daemon that is started automatically like any other system service, +and a CGI script called monitorix.cgi. + +Every time 'monitorix' is started it reads the configuration file from the path +specified in the command line (using the -c option), and once checked, it +creates the 'index.html' file that will act as the Monitorix main page. + +It also creates a file called '$BASE_DIR/cgi-bin/monitorix.conf.path' that +includes the absolute path of the configuration file. This file will be read +by 'monitorix.cgi' to determine the exact location of the configuration file. +If for any reason it is unable to locate this file, Monitorix will try two +alternative locations: '/etc/monitorix.conf' and +'/usr/local/etc/monitorix.conf'.
