Thanks for the pointers, Barry.
I was thinking of something more comprehensive, something along the
lines of Munin or Cacti, which collects the data and also displays

It seems like an ideal use case for GAE:
- low bandwidth
- minimal CPU requirements
- web-based
- push (URLFetch) and pull (Requests) to collect data point samples
If this doesn't exist yet, it really should
