Thanks!

Just to clear one thing up: Dashboard isn't about network monitoring or
processing any specific type of data. It is about visualizing the data
within Django applications.

netmon is an example, a very simple Django application that Django Bingo
can query and turn into pretty graphs and tables. The current netmon
graphs (that are all auto-generated from netmon's models.py) can be
easily modified using the query builder's UI.

If you are looking at rolling your own network monitoring system feel
free to use Django Bingo for the visualization of your network data. But
I agree that with munin, nagios and all the others that rewriting such a
system using Django would be mostly a waste of time.

To put it another way, with Django Bingo you could visualize your sales,
your webserver statistics, your customers and employees, your open bug
reports and your database performance on a single screen. The only
requirement is that you have that data in various django applications.

cheers,

Alex
