NORDstat TODO list
This is a non-exhaustive list of things to fix in and/or things to add
to this package.
- The traffic poller should record restart events on all ports
right after it starts. (Otherwise the backend scripts might
lack information about a reset of the counters.)
- The error messages from the poller should be handled better.
They probably should not be logged directly to a file. Use the
"syslog" command instead?
- Find (and fix) bug (in scotty (?)) which sometimes causes poller
to stop, stuck in blocking recvfrom(). This would remove the
need for the
nanny.pl
script.
- Redo configuration file syntax, introduce "region tags", make it
possible to filter tabular reports by region tag.
- Write script summarizing new ports added and removed ports for
each day.
- Let the load-map show other data than percentage load?
- Let load-map have references to other maps.
- Let load-map get "zoom out" and "previous" and "next" period
imagemap areas.
- Make base map for load-map time-dependent (as the physical setup
will change over time).
- Make a cleaner split between the front-end and the back-end of
the load-map, making it easier to add an interpreter for a new
drawing format.
- Make load-map interpret the
tgif
drawing format (since the xfig file easily becomes cluttered and
hence difficult to maintain, it looks more promising with tgif).
