I'd prefer not to display stats on the webserver (other than webstats, which are already displayed), even password controlled, and, since this is free, volunteer work that I do on the side, I'd prefer to get email messages daily. I already use pflogsumm for mail stats, and it works fine. I also get all the standard system mail, but I'm interested in monitoring performance systematically rather than through casual observance. I just found devel/libstatgrab. I'm going to take a look at that.
