This work focuses on the integration of CGI, AJAX and SVG technologies into the B/P/S architecture for monitoring the distributed and embedded Linux system. The traditional monitoring technologies and architectures do not sufficiently satisfy either the transparency of the distributed or the resource limitation of the embedded at the same time, but these two aspects are basic for distributed and embedded system. This paper describes the design decisions on integrating CGI, AJAX and SVG into the B/P/S architecture, analyzes the shortcoming of the traditional monitoring methods, introduces a sample implementation and points out some potential application domains and ideas for future development.
