Virgo Agent Toolkit Documentation

A lightweight, open source, cross-platform agent toolkit written in C with an embedded asynchronous LuaJit runtime.

Virgo works on most Linux distributions, Windows 2008+, and OSX. We support the following architectures as well: ARM, i686, and x86_64. If LuaJit supports a system, then Virgo does as well. Theoretically, Virgo will run on MIPS and PPC , but we have not tested against these systems.

We aim to create a cross-platform agent that supports a low memory and CPU footprint. The Rackspace Monitoring Agent uses this framework and runs in about 6 MB of Resident Memory. On Windows, it runs in about 4.5 MB of memory.
