Description

We run a web server in nearly every REEF Driver. However, that web server is used almost exclusively for REST API endpoints. It would be amazing to also host a Web UI there, that allows the user access to REEF-level information, including:

• The log files of the Driver
• The number of events received of the various types.
• Uptime, time to allocation, ... whatever statistics we keep.

Further, just like the REST endpoint, the UI should be extensible such that services and user code in the Driver can register with it. For example, the name service could expose a page listing its current entries.
