Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently some server providers rely on the mspt command for server health monitoring. This limits paper in changing the command output to be consistent with spark's output.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Since this is not really the intended way to monitor server health in the first place, there should be a proper alternative.

Maybe a local socket that serves this information can be implemented.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

keep using the command

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing mspt command and how server health information is currently exposed. Define the local socket's health data and protocol, then verify that monitoring tools can consume it consistently with Spark's output.
