Hi David,
most applications that I know use RRDtool (a Round-Robin-database to store
data/measurements) as its basis, like Munin, Cacti, MRTG etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RRDtool
It is also available in BR2.
Years ago I had hacked myself a Munin node (client) for AstLinux, so data could
fetched from a Munin server on Debian in my network from my AstLinux boxes. But
it does not work anymore or I forgot about it. But it created nice progress
graphicss for some parameters (CPU load, traffic, Asterisk calls, etc.).
Now since we're using SSDs instead CF cards it would be nice to have such
application.
My 2 cts.
