Key Features Explained

Advanced Argument Parsing

Utah's args.* functions provide enterprise-grade command line argument handling:

args.define("--max-cpu", "", "CPU usage alert threshold percentage", "number", false, 85);
let maxCpuThreshold: number = args.get("--max-cpu");

This single line replaces dozens of lines of bash parameter parsing and validation.

Intelligent Log Analysis

The script demonstrates sophisticated log processing with pattern matching:

for (let entry: string in logEntries) {
  if (entry.startsWith("ERROR:")) {
    errorCount = errorCount + 1;
    let errorMsg: string = entry.substring(7);

    if (errorMsg.indexOf("Database") >= 0 || errorMsg.indexOf("Service") >= 0) {
      console.log(`   🚨 CRITICAL: ${errorMsg}`);
    }
  }
}

Performance Trend Analysis

Historical data analysis with statistical calculations:

let cpuHistory: number[] = [45, 52, 48, 65, 71, 69, currentCpu];
let cpuSum: number = 0;
for (let cpu: number in cpuHistory) {
  cpuSum = cpuSum + cpu;
}
let cpuAverage: number = cpuSum / cpuHistory.length;

Multi-Threshold Alerting

Intelligent alerting with escalation logic:

if (currentCpu > maxCpuThreshold || currentMemory > 85) {
  let severity: string = "LOW";
  if (currentCpu > 90 || currentMemory > 95) {
    severity = "CRITICAL";
  }
  console.log(`   📊 Severity Level: ${severity}`);
}

Usage Examples

Basic Health Check

utah compile system-health-monitor.shx
./system-health-monitor.sh

With Custom Thresholds

./system-health-monitor.sh --max-cpu 75 --max-memory 80 --verbose

Complete Monitoring Setup

./system-health-monitor.sh \
  --config /etc/custom-monitor.conf \
  --output /var/log/health-report.json \
  --alert-email admin@company.com \
  --user monitoring_user \
  --admin \
  --verbose

Why This Matters

This single Utah script replaces what would be 400+ lines of complex bash code with:

✅ Type Safety: All variables are strongly typed
✅ Error Handling: Built-in try/catch and validation
✅ Clean Syntax: TypeScript-like readability
✅ Built-in Functions: No need for external utilities

Utah vs Traditional Bash

Feature	Traditional Bash	Utah Language
Argument Parsing	`getopts` manual parsing	Built-in `args.*` functions
Error Handling	Complex trap/exit code logic	Automatic error management
JSON Processing	Requires `jq` external tool	Native object support
HTTP Requests	`curl` with manual parsing	Built-in `web.*` functions
Text Processing	`awk`/`sed` command chains	Built-in string functions
Type Validation	Manual string checks	Static type checking
Array Operations	Complex bash array syntax	Modern array methods
Process Management	Manual PID tracking	Built-in `system.*` functions

The Result: Utah provides enterprise-grade DevOps automation with the simplicity of modern scripting languages.

✅ Parallel Execution: Built-in concurrency support
✅ Advanced Data Structures: Arrays, objects, and complex types

Compare with Bash

In traditional bash, you would need:

Complex parameter parsing with getopts or manual case statements
External tools like jq, curl, awk, sed for data processing
Manual error handling with set -e and trap functions
Verbose array manipulation with index tracking
External tools for parallel execution
Complex string manipulation with parameter expansion

Utah provides all of this functionality built-in with clean, maintainable syntax.

Server Health Check - Focused server monitoring
String Processing - Text manipulation techniques
Log File Analyzer - Array operations and iteration
