kcweb
kcweb is a new web based interface, that offers the following features:
Kernel Configuration changes
You can modify tunables, add or remove static drivers, modify the state of kernel modules,
compile a new kernel and reboot if needed.
Monitoring
Certain tunables can be monitored. A daily percentage usage graph helps you to determine the
appropriate adjustments to tunables.
