FreeBSD Monitoring

Hello everyone,

I have been playing with both FreeBSD and FreeNAS for a while now. My question is, what is the application used in FreeNAS that lets you see the system visually? I like the fact that I can see my CPU/RAM report as well as what resources my jails are using. Is this something that can be done on FreeBSD servers?

Thank you all,

Fred
 
We have no idea what FreeNAS uses, it could be something they wrote themselves. Have you tried asking the FreeNAS people?
 
According to a podcast I listened to a while ago on bsdtalk the iXsystems have developed their own web interface using django. On the other and, pfsense uses PHP (or was using PHP).
 
If you poke around from a FreeNAS shell you'll find that it has net-mgmt/collectd installed to get the statistics and every 5 minutes an /etc/crontab executes /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/graph.py to build graphs. There might be more but that is what I can see after looking around for a few minutes.
