+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside

+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions

+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# Chorus Monitoring
+
+Status: Beta
+
+Chorus is supposed to be a serverless mesh monitoring 'solution'.
+
+It is a simple script that checks endpoints via ICMP, HTTP and TCP. Rollout it manually or with any automation tool and use cronjob, systemd timers to run it in your preferred freqyency.
+
+Goals:
+- keeping it simple to understand and to modify
+- avoiding a single-point-of-failure
+
+Use cases:
+- let hosts monitor eachother
+- let many hosts monitor some endpoints
+
+Suited for:
+- small envs
+- homelabs
+- temporary envs
+- backup monitoring for critical endpoints
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+**Available**:
+- Check via ICMP,HTTP and TCP
+- temp files with down endpoints to avoid notification spam
+- modular functions
+- simple with board tools only
+
+**Ideas**:
+- host based exclusions
+- optional server for logs and status page?
+- DNS checks
+- file integrity check?
+- systemd checks?
+- Windows and other platforms?
+
+**Not planned**:
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+1. modify the script
+    a. notification methods
+    b. what endpoint should be monitored.
+    c. maybe modify threshold of retries after fail
+2. rollout script too all endpoints manually or via automation
+3. run script perioidicly (cronjob, systemd timers, etc)
+
+Will rework this section later.
