As in, when I watched YouTube tutorials, I often see YouTubers have a small widget on their desktop giving them an overview of their ram usage, security level, etc. What apps do you all use to track this?

Pretty cool dashboards. I liked the DHCP clients info, does it also report DHCP reservations?

Where do you do DHCP, on the PFSense or somewhere else?

Thanks, and yes, Type "static" are DHCP reservations.

Yes, on pfSense. I use the Python function written by pletch/scrape_pfsense_dhcp_leases.py (on Github) that scrapes the pfSense status_dhcp_leases.php page. Then added my own function for querying my TP-Link APs using SNMP to determine which AP a wireless DHCP client is connected to.

I can throw the script up on Dropbox if you are interested. I am mediocre at writing Python, so it is pretty specific to my environment.
