Everybody likes graphs, right?
I tried some of the available munin plugins, but none of those were really working anymore. So I sat down and began writing my own, using stem, which is really awesome.
These are really early stages, but it already supports autoconf determination and suggestions. If you want to take a look, it is hosted on github[1].
At the moment it supports a connection graph, getting its data from orconn-status. More graphs are possible, but not yet implemented. Ideas are welcome.
Neat, thanks Martin! Added munin-tor to our examples...

Few quick thoughts about the Stem bits...
with Controller.from_port(port=port) as controller: controller.authenticate() if controller.is_authenticated(): print('yes') else: print('no (Authentication failed)')
The is_authenticated() is unnecessary. The authenticate() call will raise an AuthenticationFailure if unsuccessful...
https://stem.torproject.org/api/connection.html#stem.connection.authenticate
response = controller.get_info('orconn-status')
You might want to do the following instead if you'd rather not risk exceptions...
response = controller.get_info('orconn-status', None)
if response is None: return
states = {'NEW': 0, 'LAUNCHED': 0, 'CONNECTED': 0, 'FAILED': 0, 'CLOSED': 0}
Up to you but you could also use Stem's ORStatus enum.
import stem dict((state, 0) for state in stem.ORStatus)
{'NEW': 0, 'CONNECTED': 0, 'CLOSED': 0, 'LAUNCHED': 0, 'FAILED': 0}
response = controller.get_info('traffic/read') print('read.value {}'.format(response)) response = controller.get_info('traffic/written') print('written.value {}'.format(response))
Again, this could potentially raise exceptions unless you provide get_info() a default value.
