+ Details of the i-scream central monitoring system can be found

+ A variety of <b><a href="screenshots">screen shots</a></b> from the
+ system show some of the key features in use. The <b><a href="reports">reports demo</a></b>
+ page provides a static example of what the i-scream reports (alerts,
+ historical graphs, and live data) could look like on a production system.

+ <b>Extending monitoring facilites</b><br><br>
+ <a href="screenshots/"><img border="0" src="screenshots/thumbnail-reports-raptor-load15.gif" width="100" height="107" align="left"></a>
+ Work is continuing, in conjunction with the new ihost, to extend
+ the range of i-scream's monitoring. Currently we are adding new
+ features to more accurately monitoring memory and swap usage,
+ along with more disk statistics. We are also planning to improve
+ the rather basic service monitors which are currently in place.
+ There are also many more subtle changes that need to be made to
+ improve the reliability and usefulness of i-scream's monitoring.

+ <p align="justify">
+ <b>Server security</b><br><br>
+ Security was something mostly overlooked in the original stage
+ of this project (due to the academic nature of the work). However,
+ once in production use this has become an issue, and is being
+ addressed. Initially the plan is to lock down the external points
+ of access (TCP & UDP) in the server to specific hosts. In the
+ longer term, encryption of data would be nice, but would take a
+ lot more time and work.

+ <b>Testing and Development</b><br><br>
+ <a href="screenshots/"><img border="0" src="screenshots/thumbnail-winhost-main.gif" width="100" height="62" align="right"></a>
+ The i-scream system is being tested and developed within the
+ Univeristy of Kent Computer Science department by the Systems
+ Group. This has led to many bug fixes and minor feature
+ enhancements, and will hopefully help to aid the long term
+ development of the system.
