While gkrellm does have a server and client component, it seems mainly geared towards desktop type systems with both the client and server running on the same machine. For remote monitoring of something like a LEAF firewall, I would suggest SNMP (on the firewall), with the monitoring application of your choice running elsewhere to gather statistics. Typical options would be things like MRTG, Cacti, OpenNMS in the open source world: http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/ http://www.cacti.net/ http://www.opennms.org/ ...although there are *MANY* other free and proprietary options available as well. In addition to monitoring your firewall, an SNMP based monitoring solution can also gather data from your switches and various other network infrastructure components if they have SNMP support (which is becoming more and more common, even on lower-end hardware). - -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFLcX2xLywbqEHdNFwRAkOYAJ9enyj2+lCxecqK491voRKfxAURfwCgkEkj i+CpCgZ8s9tH+H8ZjaH20sQ= =F/7u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
