Idea #30196: No Simple Remote Information

Written by doublez13 the 28 Sep 12 at 18:16. Category: Server. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
In Ubuntu Server, there's no simple way to be able to look at all your computer's information in one simple place. Things like CPU usage, hard drive usage, network utilization, and so on, all require separate commands to be issued.

Solution #1: Ubuntu Server Web Information
Written by doublez13 the 28 Sep 12 at 18:16.
I think that Ubuntu (at least the server edition) should have some form of proprietary plugin or web module for Apache, that gives the information of your computer using the applications already included in your installation. These would include things like CPU usage using Top, hard drive usage using Iotop, users logged in using Who, fan speeds, network utilization, and so on. This way, you could view everything you needed to, simply using your web browser.

Solution #2: #1 but not propriétary, let the world use it.

#1 is great, but why make it ubuntu-specific?

The second solution would be great in a perfect world. There's already a few different types of the things I'm proposing, but a lot of the different distributions have quit supporting them because there's no common standard. Take webmin for example, it tried to do what I'm.proposing, but ubuntu quot supporting it because every function isn't compatible with every distrobution. Also, having the look and feel of ubuntu, rather than some third party software designer would be great. That's why I think that the first solution is the way to go :)

I think something like ajenti would be perfect http://ajenti.org/

Solution #1: It does not have to be proprietary. It can be open. Even if it happens to work only on Ubuntu (at least initially), why limit its possible applications?

So if this was not an Ubuntu proprietary application-plugin, then would this even be a valid idea in an Ubuntu forum

@doublez13: Yes, of course it would be a valid idea.
