Here is a little tool I made to get an automated report of server Key Performance Indicators at my morning coffee, delivered via Telegram. This can come in useful for witnesses to have a finger on their server's performance.
What this script does is checking and reporting:
* Disk Space (free / used)
* CPU usage per core
* Ram space (free / used)
Collects it and sends it as a Telegram message. Simply configure a cronjob to get the report as often as you like.
Depends on psutil, requests an os packages for Python3.

Awesome
@roelandp! Thank you for being fully engaged and helping to improve the BitShares ecosystem. There was a time when most Witnesses were similarly engaged, but it's been so long ago since we've seen it. I am nearing a point where I can begin to get serious about improving my python skills, which I will apply to improving bts_tools. Working on infrastructure items like a VPN and secure email server atm. Thank you for all you do sir!
FYI - this is a very nice and useful addition. Aside from the Telegram angle,
bts_tools also reports on these stats, and alerts a Witness when they miss blocks, get voted out and a number of other alert items it tracks. If you want it will send you an email alert which you could see on your smartphone.
My smartphone is quite dated. I am thinking about getting a new one and if I do I will get one with a screen big enough to allow me to open a terminal window and interact with my nodes, for example to switch signing keys should the Witness node die or otherwise become unreliable.
