Max has been working on monitoring statistics from with the wifi router using collectd and RRD.

Max discussed with ChrisJ about system wide monitoring... recommends Icinga.

Icinga

Interesting article: [Setting up Icinga on a Debian Server to Remotely Monitor an OpenWrt Router]

Icinga is a Nagios fork which, as of Fall 2013, has more development involvement. Icinga is the central system that pings other systems like openWRT. Icinga gathers the data and can track and send notifications when values drift beyond normal tolerances. On the remote hosts it is required to install nrpe and a basic set of nrpe plugins. The article referenced above shows how it is possible to install nrpe on openwrt through the openwrt web interface. After that one can ssh into the router and configure it.
