This weekend while diligently
avoiding my wife's "honey-do list" I wrote a script to parse
stats via telnet from Jeremy and Doug's excellent new looking
glass. I didn't see any commands that would give the number of MICE
peers, so that number is actually the number of gateways in the routing
tables… and of course the total number of connected addresses is just for
fun. If anyone sees other numbers worth graphing let me
know. I also spent a little time on the Weathermap, same
username and password as before:

Hopefully you'll all be more impressed than my wife
was…
Nice work. My wife isn't impressed either, but I can impress my
kids with graphs!
One thing you could add would be this BGP Monitoring template - it
baselines the # of prefixes for each BGP neighbor and then has additional
lines for inbound/outbound updates.
BGP Monitor - this one worked for me

BGP - "broken" version - I couldn't get this one to work right,
but you can see what it does

Here's an example of the graphs produced from the BGP sessions on our
MICE router:
