Hello Hugo,

Quick suggestion for next version of Hiawatha Monitor:

"Top banned IPs"
"Top exploit IPs"
"Top garbage IPs"

Or maybe there is a way to get this already from somewhere?

Hmm, I don't now yet. It can of course be done, but it could have a serious effect on memory usage and performance. The purpose of the Monitor is that you easily know which server needs attention, not as an interface to all the information. Putting all logs from all webservers will make the Monitor database big and the Monitor therefor very slow. The Monitor now displays for which virtual host on which webserver the bans or exploits have been logged. It's easy to find the causing IP from the logfiles.

About the garbage: the reason why Hiawatha can log it is because I was curious what kind of garbage a webserver recieves. Now I have seen what kind of garbage that is, my advice is to simply ignore the garbage requests. They are harmless and irrelevent.
