+**Configuration options:**
+
+- hostMonitoringPeriod - the delay in between the CPU and RAM usage being probed (defined in seconds).
+- urlMonitoringPeriod - the delay in between monitoring all of the URLs (defined in seconds).
+- urls - the list of URLs to monitor (e.g. ["url1", "url2"].
+- urlTimeout - the delay before considering a URL to have timed out.
+- maxWorkers - the amount of threads to use when pulling URL resources. Do not set above the maximum number of threads on the host.
