+# System Health Monitoring Daemon
+
+A robust system health monitoring daemon that tracks hardware status and automatically creates tickets for detected issues.
+
+## Features
+
+- Comprehensive system health monitoring:
+  - Drive health (SMART status and disk usage)
+  - Memory usage
+  - CPU utilization 
+  - Network connectivity (Management and Ceph networks)
+- Automatic ticket creation for detected issues
+- Configurable thresholds and monitoring parameters
+- Dry-run mode for testing
+- Systemd integration for automated daily checks
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Copy the service and timer files to systemd:
+```bash
+sudo cp hwmon.service /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo cp hwmon.timer /etc/systemd/system/
+```
+2. Reload systemd daemon:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+```
+3. Enable and start the timer:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl enable hwmon.timer
+sudo systemctl start hwmon.timer
+```
+
+
+## Manual Execution
+
+1. Run the daemon with dry-run mode to test:
+```bash
+python3 hwmonDaemon.py --dry-run
+```
+2. Run the daemon normally:
+```bash
+python3 hwmonDaemon.py
+```
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+The daemon monitors:
+
+- Disk usage (warns at 80%, critical at 90%)
+- Memory usage (warns at 80%)
+- CPU usage (warns at 80%)
+- Network connectivity to management (10.10.10.1) and Ceph (10.10.90.1) networks
+- SMART status of physical drives
+
+## Ticket Creation
+
+The daemon automatically creates tickets with:
+
+- Standardized titles including hostname, hardware type, and scope
+- Detailed descriptions of detected issues
+- Priority levels based on severity (P2-P4)
+- Proper categorization and status tracking
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Python 3
+- Required Python packages:
+  - psutil
+  - requests
+  - smartmontools (for SMART disk monitoring)
+
+## Service Configuration
+
+The daemon runs:
+
+- Daily via systemd timer
+- As root user for hardware access
+- With automatic restart on failure
+
+## Security Note
+
+Ensure proper network security measures are in place as the service downloads and executes code from a specified URL.
