description:
 This check monitors the overall health of a Hermes Agent installation via
 its web dashboard's public {GET /api/status} REST endpoint. Data is
 collected via the special agent {agent_hermes_dashboard}.

 Reports the agent version, the overall status field ({ok}/{degraded}/
 {error}), whether an update is available, and the number of currently
 active sessions (active in the last 5 minutes).

 The service goes {CRIT} if the dashboard cannot be reached at all. It
 reflects the dashboard's own {overall} status field otherwise ({WARN} for
 {degraded}, {CRIT} for {error}).

discovery:
 One service {Hermes Dashboard} is created if the dashboard responds.
