BrightID Alert System

Overview

The BrightID Alert System is a monitoring and alerting service designed to track system health and send alerts via Keybase and Telegram. It consists of three main services:

• Monitor Service: Periodically checks the status of critical components.
• Alert Service: Sends alerts to Keybase and Telegram when an issue is detected.
• Watchdog Service: Ensures that the Monitor and Alert services are running and restarts them if necessary.

The system uses Redis for storing status updates and inter-service communication.
