Prometheus Keepalive Agent

An agent to send up prometheus metric with a given interval to a remote write.

When using the prometheus agent or grafana agent, we could received an keepalive alert for a node. At this stage we don't know if it's the node or the prometheus/grafana agent which is down. There is many reasons of agent failures like config, memory errors.

This tool is complementary with any other agent and aims to reduce false positive caused by an agent down.
