Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the data and stores it for later use. An example of such use is the historical report generator which produces graphs of machine - usage over periods of time (viewable in a web browser). Realtime - clients are also currently being developed - one Java Swing GUI - version and also a command line version that can run in a terminal - window.
