Regarding plotting data files through a web page, some time ago I wrote a small utility to do just that. We have a corona tester here at my workplace that generates binary files with the corona data. These are not easily plotted from a standard tool because of the proprietary format.

If you are looking to graph long running data and provide rolled up summaries, the combination of MRTG and RRDtool is pretty hard to beat. Can work with pretty much anything on the back end. And it's the industry standard for network monitoring. http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg.en.html Or

One good reason for doing as little as possible in a micro-controller is that they are often used to collect raw data with as little latency as possible. Doing web serving on a single slowish core in that case is not a good idea. I have a bunch of Soekris doing data collection and if I start
