A simple service that monitors and collects information on system resource such as battery, temperature, memory, CPU, and network usage.
The service can be used as backend for applications that need to consult system status.

The battery monitoring feature is helpful for battery-powered systems such as robotic systems.
On these systems, battery voltage reading is performed with the help of an ADC sensor (such as ADS1115).
As the service communicate with the system hardware via the **sysfs interface**, in order to provide input
to `sysmond`, these ADCs sensor should accessible in user space via this interface. Usually, this is handled
by the device dirver.

Based on these configuration, `sysmond` can approximate the battery volage percent, it is also able to protect the battery by
powering off the system when the batery percent bellow the configured value.
