A monitoring system must periodically execute and deliver
reports if it is to monitor and provide actionable alerts on an
ongoing basis.
Isok does not include a periodic job scheduler.
Tools like the Unix cron command, the systemd timer system, or
the PostgreSQL pg_cron extension are useful to automate, and
make periodic, Isok's monitoring.
There are plenty of job schedulers available and one of these
must be used to schedule the production of Isok's reports.
Typically, something must deliver the reports Isok
produces, because push-notifications remind people to act.
Although Isok does archive the reports it produces, it does
not include a report delivery mechanism.
Email, or other push-based delivery mechanisms (perhaps
email-to-SMS text gateways), are the expected delivery
mechanisms for Isok's reports.
Isok itself can report to standard out when run from
psql.
Depending on your job scheduler, some amount of scripting may be
required to route Isok's reports to a push delivery
service.
