Meechum is a three way software,

• each of your servers needs to have a meechum, let's be honest everybody needs a guy like that. What will he do ? he'll ask his backend for configuration. Like, hi i'm a meetchum from group secretService, and also leader the PresidentSEcurityGroup, what should i do ? And he'll do what he asked, no questions. And he'll personnaly report to whatever you want.

• A meechumcli, that's a particular meechum to talk to your backend of choise, let's be etcd or Consul, your work, your choice. This cli will give you the ability to override configurations, to edit groups, or checks.

• A meechumagregatorbackend, this backend if you chose it (we don't) is aggregating multiples sources of datas (say each of your meechum reports errors at the same time, let's do something about it). That's not clear at the moment. But for example, each of your meechum report to slack for errors, you'll also want them to be store in a postgre backend, he can do that. The aggregator is a second step in what we want to do.

He can do checks :
    
    {
        "name":     "mysql-check",
        "cmd":      "$PLUGINS/databases/mysql_check.sh -p 3306",
        "every":    "5m",
        "repeat":   "10m"
    }

$ meechumcli --help
    status
        node {id}
        nodes
        check {id}
        checks
        logs
    nodes
        list
        status
    group
        list
        add
        edit
        delete
    check
        list
        add
        edit
        delete

Pretty self explanatory. The cli is just a way to interact against meechum api, the api is enable is the meechum node is started with --api
