Hi Joep, There is a snmp plugin for gkrell, you can install the snmp daemon on the firewall as suggested by Charles and monitor it with the gkrell client.

However, gkrellm gives the possibility to gather datat from remote systems by running there the daemon, whicg gathers the data presented by lmsensors. If one used SNMP then a daemon process must run that presents the data using th SNMP protocol, just as the gkrellm daemon presents the data in its own protocol (Idon't know what they use). Maybe it is easy to write a simple daemon process with uclib but that is beyond my capabilities.
