Telemetry Platform (PXE Diagnostics)

This project is a simple telemetry system written in Go.

It is designed to run diagnostic agents on PXE-booted machines and collect heartbeat information on a central server.

The goal of this project is to evolve into a lightweight infrastructure diagnostics and monitoring platform.

The project currently consists of two components:

Server:

A minimal HTTP API server that listens for heartbeat messages.

• Location: server/testservergo.go

• Responsibilities:

  • Listen on TCP port (default :8080)
  • Expose endpoint: POST /heartbeat
  • Receive JSON heartbeat messages Log received machine status

Agent(Client):

A lightweight daemon that runs inside a PXE-booted Alpine Linux image.

• Location: agent/client_main.go

• Responsibilities:

  • Read configuration from: /project-dir/client/config.json

  • Collect basic system identity: Hostname, IPv4 addresses, CPU Usage

  • Send heartbeat periodically to the server
