Hey everyone, I've been a bit absent here, but I'm always reading the forum posts and giving my opinions when I have some knowledge on the subject.
I was demonstrating my router to a new and potential client of mine, and he was amazed by what OpenWRT can do and decided to come to the website/forum to do some more in-depth research, as he's also a technology enthusiast...
Well, today on my router, using the modules above, I'm only monitoring the following processes: collectd, dnsmasq, dropbear, dhcpd, rpcd, smnpd, snmptrapd, and uhttpd.
The question is straightforward: Can we monitor more processes? Do you recommend any others from this list?
I think I can monitor any process or any daemon on my router. Am I wrong?
We will be setting up an x86/64 instance in a VM at his office very soon.
