Have you seen or used this software?  Would you like to include Monitorix or the developer Jordi Sanfeliu in the project? CJ I have had a look at Monitorix, and had it running at one point. I was interested in it for monitoring multiple VMs. I like the graphs and web interface. I don't like that it requires the whole kit and kaboodle (apache etc) on each machine that's being monitored. I like the architecture of ganglia much better, although ganglia is geared toward clusters to begin with. I did chat online with Jordi briefly at that time. No mention was made of QMT though that I recall. collectl is presently my monitor of choice. I was looking for something which would show me i/o usage per process, and collectl can. It's a pretty impressive piece of software, and it's lean on resources. Monitoring is something I'd like to address with QMT at some point, but it's still a back burner item. If Jordi would like to provide us with something that would be an optional package at this point though, he's more than welcome to join the devel list, where we could assist with his efforts. Thanks for bringing this up, CJ. The developer has sent me this regarding qmail.  If someone would comment so I could forward the info to him that would be great. "I've never seen a Qmail system in action, so I can't make an idea of how it shows its mail statistics. So, please, could you send me a full Qmail statistics listing, hence I could start making an idea if Monitorix could introduce support quickly or if it would require special configuration for Qmail. Don't forget to explain what are all the requirements and the exact command line to get such stats. " --
