Comment(by atagar):
> So we can include arm in the new images and update the FAQ with a "How
do I run arm?"-section.
Sounds good. Suggesting "sudo -u debian-tor arm" will take care of the
first couple. If you're using the most recent version then iirc I've fixed
the exception handling when failing to issue a SAVECONF so that should
already give a clear message that their permissions are to blame (might
want to double check that).
> Does arm display bridge statistics, such as client numbers?
The most recent version does via a new dialog when the user presses 'c' on
the second page (connections). It shows client usage by locale as a bar
graph (pity I didn't take a screenshot...).
I doubt most users even know this feature exists. ;)
> We can pull it from deb.tpo, that's not a problem.
Unfortunately nope...

Dererk sounded close to adding it, and said that he'd update that ticket.
However, it looks like he forgot the later.
> I found it immensely satisfying to see my node transferring gigabytes of
data and its current activity.
Glad you like it! Let me know if there's anything more you'd like from it.
> While it may not meet all the requirements of #4228, it may adhere to
the spirit.
Actually, it does cover everything except the pools idea - from #4228...
- how many clients are using it
Stats for the life of the arm process, prepopulated with the last day's
values via 'GETINFO status/clients-seen', are in the client usage dialog I
mentioned.
- which pool the bridge ended up in
This isn't easily available at the moment. However, a long term project
for arm is subscribing to distilled display statistics that are too costly
to fetch ourselves (for instance whois/rdns lookups for all relays). This
could be expanded to include bridge pool assignments...

That said, I won't be getting to this any time soon. It might make a good
GSoC project.
Cheers! -Damian
