Speculare Client is the collector daemon that run on your VMs/servers/... It run constantly on any servers you want to monitor and send the data collected (cpu, ram, disk/net io, ...) to Speculare Server.
Setup
As of now Speculare Client does not provide easy setup solution such as a one-line installer (but it's planned). The current recommanded way to install Speculare Client is to build it from source. But don't be afraid, it's easy and straightforwards.
You can also build it once for your platform (ie: Linux-x86) and then send the binary to each of your servers.
Install dependencies
Speculare Client is a Rust project that rely on very few dependencies. But some of them are still required for https communication.
The resulting binary will be located in ./target/release/speculare-client.
Configuration files
For Speculare Client to work correctly you need to create a configuration file based on Example.toml. This configuration file can be saved anywhere on the server, you just need to specify it's path as an arguments to speculare-client when launching it.
