Extending

Extending minimon is possible by writing custom scripts and place it in your tasks folder. The client will find the task and add it to the json. see sysinfo

The server also needs a custom script to parse the new data. see sysinfo

The server can also be extended by the creation of monitors: Monitors are server sided tasks to check if the required service/host is reachable. see ping
