Seconded.
Yes. But... it is a potential security issue to expose those
statistics to anyone who asks.
I could see external sites querying these statistics if:
- the connection is encrypted
- the client is querying a socket dedicated to Status-Server messages.
But it also kinda limits the usefulness of the feature. Couldn't you
place it in the hands of the server admins to decide which hosts can
query and which can't? Another configuration item in clients?
(trivial to have one central stats
store then) but still..... I hope to see a lot of useful tools/widgets
using this. bit of RRDTool is calling.....
Yes. There are a LOT of statistics available now. Almost every
counter that you could track inside the server is exposed via this method.
