Hi,

Thank you so much. This looks really interesting. I am working on a project
to monitor the performance of lighttpd servers in a cloud environment(for
resource provisioning purposes) . Also, in the blog, I was not clear by the
term "response time". Is it the response time as perceived by the client or
is it the request processing time of the server. I had seen many tools such
as Piwik which would measure the client percieved response time of the web
pages, but they have the disadvantage of having java-script to be enabled at
the client's for this purpose. Is the tool you had developed similar to
Piwik or is it measuring the server side processing time.
