Nothing against svg graphs ... they made me smile when 1st seeing 
m0n0wall on screenshots.

But as we already have snmp and php installed now about a real 
monitoring over time:

http://www.cacti.net/

Admitted that for that we would need a small partition to save the data 
on. In memory you always lose the data in a reboot.

With cacti we could just monitor whatever we feel like in any 
summarization. Actually everything that snmp and local scripts can do -> 
everything :-)



Hope this is not some suggestion that is against the way m0n0wall is 
planned, but real time graphs don't show problems with CPU / memory / 
bandwidth over time and there might be a job running over VPN during the 
night and you don't see the peak it has on the CPU and so on ...


Take care

Christian
