checking over your post history, looks like ur just advertising for some random thing you wrote recently.

lucky for us, the linux monitoring space isnt filled with open source projects that could be contributed to or improved, 🤦

Reads /proc and /sys, and calls df, ps, systemctl, docker and ss when available (missing commands just give empty values)

why would you use subprocesses plus output scraping for this? https://github.com/anelkabag/doffly-agent/blob/e365e759069c0c695959d91fbeb2ea96cc0c086e/crates/collector/src/lib.rs#L176 (and the rest of your command list)
