 As we currently working on HTTP monitoring I would like to have followings
as our next millstones.

(1) HTTP connection level monitoring

- Incoming HTTP connections over the time, min-max-average, min-max-avg
connection time, connection pool data,
- Outgoing HTTP connections over the time, min-max-average, min-max-avg
connection time, connection pool data,
- Amount data transferred and threads relates stats
- We can think about more useful data on this area

(2) Server health monitoring - I believe above JVM and Infra categories
should go here.

Thanks !
