Did some cool stuff with integration of a tool for helping troubleshoot connectivity performance and one for site statistics:
1. Added Dan Ewell's Broadband Speed Test as an inline report
2. Added Tracewatch as an external link
The reason I am bringing it up here is not because of technical savvy (which it is not), but because I am sure others have wondered about similar functionality as well.
Demo at www.path3.com, click admin in bottom-right corner, login with:
Visitor / Wireless06
and select the desired option. The only caveat is that the TraceWatch window sometimes ‘dives under’ the path3.com window – so you will have to downsize it.
Tech details:
1. Broadband Speed Test was set up to generate daily reports with automatic 'save for web' option. I then run a daily batch file that renames the O*.htm file to latest.htm, and the latter is displayed using a page displayer module.
2. Tracewatch is just an external link section. Note that this is quite a nifty php/mysql script that stores the entries as they come in - and not by harvesting log-file information
'Security' was achieved through group permissions and a simple navigation module (children only)

Wonderdering if this could be made into a full plugin I read the Terms of Use stating "YOU MAY NOT MODIFY, ADAPT, RENT, LEASE, LOAN, SELL, REQUEST DONATIONS OR CREATE DERIVATIVE WORKS BASED UPON THE SOFTWARE OR ANY PART THEREOF." So I guess that the maker is not prepared to allow his tool to be made into an Exponent Module...

Not only that, but the code is obfuscated, i.e not extendible.
We could of course ask..
See points from FAQ below. He seems like a hobbyist, so if we do not need many changes, he could still maintain control - but contribute obfuscated code to the project.
We probably would need:
1. Integration into _sections table
2. Be able to run it inline
Are you technically able to build the module?
G.
Why is it free?
Why not? :) This project is more like a hobby for me and I really don't want to bar people from using TraceWatch because they don't have enough money the problem I had myself few years ago however TraceWatch will be online until the advertisements on the website can pay for the hosting expenses.
Any more money I get from the ads more time I'll put into improving TraceWatch instead of doing other jobs to make money for a living. That's why I ask you to link to TraceWatch and encourage other people to use it.
Why is the code obfuscated?
To protect my rights as the developer of TraceWatch. TraceWatch IS NOT open-source though I really appreciate the efforts of people involved in open-source software development.
The code being obfuscated has a positive side effect too, the code is hidden from the eyes of hackers despite I have taken great care to make the code as secure as possible.

OK - starting to get data into TraceWatch, and after 4 days the graph function has kicked in. The Path function now also makes a lot more sense.
TraceWatch is one nifty script! You have to click some of the Icons to truly appreciate it.

Added one more report.
I will keep the reporting portal open for a couple of more days and then i will have to close it down.

I like the TraceWatch counter.
