Adding processes to vitals

vitals.add(pid, [meta]);

vitals.add([
    {pid: pid, meta: meta}
])

Getting monitored processes

var proc = vitals.get(pid);
var procs = vitals.get([pid,pid]);
var procs = vitals.get(function(proc) {
                    return proc.meta.key == 'value';
                });

Removing processes to vitals

vitals.remove(pid);

vitals.remove(function(proc) {
    return proc.meta.key = 'value';
})

vitals.remove(); //removes all

Starting / Stopping

vitals.start();

vitals.stop();

Count number of processes being monitored

vitals.length

vitals.on('started', function() {
    
});

vitals.on('added', function(proc) {
    //proc.pid && proc.meta
});

vitals.on('removed', function(proc) {
    //proc.pid && proc.meta && proc.meta.died if process exited
})

vitals.on('data', function(proc, data) {
    //proc.pid && proc.meta
    //data.cputime data.memoryUsage data.uptime
});

vitals.on('stopped', function() {
    
});
