Since Python 3 is the way of the future, I'm updating the HBmonitor code from Python 2 to Python 3.
__THIS SOFTWARE IS WORKING__, hopefully...
Questions, comments, and complaints can be forwarded to the DVSwitch group at [DVSwitch - HBlink Subgroup](https://dvswitch.groups.io/g/HBlink/topics)
If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit updated code as a PR to this repository.

**Socket-Based Reporting for HBlink**
Over the years, the biggest request recevied for HBlink (other than call-routing/bridging tools) has been web-based diagnostics and/or statistics for the program.
I strongly disagree with including the amount of overhead this would require inside HBlink -- which still runs nicely on very modest resources. That it does this, and is in Python is a point of pride for me... Just let me have this one, ok? What I have done is added some hooks to HBlink, which will be expanded over time, whereby it listens on a TCP socket and provides the raw data necessary for a "web dashboard", or really any external logging or statistics gathering program.
HBmonitor is my take on a "web dashboard" for HBlink.
***THIS SOFTWARE IS VERY, VERY NEW***
Right now, I'm just getting into how this should work, what does work well, what does not... and I am NOT a web applications programmer, so yeah, that javascript stuff is gonna look bad. Know what you're doing? Help me!
It has now reached a point where folks who know what they're doing can probably make it work reasonably well, so I'm opening up the project to the public.
***GOALS OF THE PROJECT***
Some things I'm going to stick to pretty closely. Here they are:
+ HBmonitor be one process that includes a webserver
+ Websockets are used for pushing data to the browser - no long-polling, etc.
+ Does not provide data that's easily misunderstood
