thanks for your feedback! The only way to write or access rrds is the rrdtool executable. You can only get data out by printing it out as graphs, thats what I mean by not portable.
There are ways to access RRD at least from Python and PHP.
From what Marc wrote and reading the past discussions on the list I rethough of my project to not require any configurations on the server besides running pma. I won't use any server side datastore so rrdtool is off the table, anyway.
The problem is not using server datastore - we already optionally use lot of tables to store our information, but doing some periodic collection. However I think having such thing as optional module is okay.
There are really a lot of values displayed, and I don't have a clue what most of them say. Ordering them somehow when allowing the admin to pick is a good idea. Some show up in red on my server, I guess these could also be more prominent since they possibly indicate a problem.
I found this reference guide for the status variables: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-status-variables.html Do you know any other good documents that describe what these values are all about?
You can look at server status page in phpMyAdmin.
