It's a very good idea, indeed. +1. We've worked on the required infrastructure to achieve such goal, actually. The upcoming Cherokee 0.98 release provides a new -let's call it- web service that will allow Cherokee-admin (and third party monitoring applications) to collect information of the server in real time. If you have the chance, give the new server_info plug-in a try. There is one technical problem about that extension module though. If cherokee-admin were in charge of plotting the graphics, it'd have to be up and running constantly, otherwise the data about the state of the server wouldn't be even read. IMO, this is a topic worth discussing. Please, don't hesitate to send you comments. :-) -- Octality http://www.octality.com/ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
