A tool to collect and export network performance metrics on Linux devices.

## Documentation
Uption has a concept of _collectors_ and _exporters_. Collectors generate metrics based on different tests and exporters export the generated data. See documentation for all the supported collectors and exporters. Documentation can be found from [Uption wiki](https://github.com/uption/uption/wiki).
