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.
mysql 5.1 has an event scheduler. If you want to use mysql tables to store these counters, you can use that. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/events-overview.html
In my experience, any serious DBA will have a nagios/cacti monitoring and metrics collection on their mysql box. Has there been an interest shown by the users for this monitoring being done by phpmyadmin itself? OTOH, this feature will allow any small site to have a good collection of its database's metrics.
(Excuse my ignorance about phpmyadmin's history and how its users use it)

Hi,
thanks for pointing me towards the event scheduler, this could probably be used to collect data on the server side. I would like to keep my project focus as it is, but will keep in mind that adding a server side data collector could be desired one day.
The goal of my project is not to compete with full-scale monitoring tools like cacti, but simply to build something useful from the data currently displayed on the server status page.
