Introduction

This program is designed to monitor processes running on a linux/osx machine. It assumes logging hasn't been properly done. The program answers basic questions:

- Is a given program still running
- How much resource (memory/cpu) a program is using up
- The number of processes found

The agent will perform three basic functions :

- data collection (building up the dataset)
- classification of status for a given process:

    x   y   z
    0   0   1   idle
    1   1   1   running
    0   0   0   crash

with x : memory used
     y : cpu usage
     z : number of processes found

- Prediction of crashes using multivariate anomaly detection
This allows the learner to determine if something unusual is happening.
