Thank you, that's very helpful. Looking forward to the emitters and dashboard whenever they're ready - I suspect they will help drive adoption of Batsd and encourage development of additional emitters.

Definitely. There's a teaser screenshot of Flyash (the big, reusable chunk of our dashboard) towards the bottom of http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3091-pssst-your-rails-applica... (that post also details some of the major emitter components we use).

"457,739 different metrics in Flyash" Oh...kay... Flyash looks very nice from the screenshots, but I'm interested to learn how you solve the discoverability problem with that much data. (Too much of a good thing?)

Looks great, can't wait to see it open sourced. I've been dealing with the clunkiness of statsd/data -> graphite -> graphene for a dashboard, and have more than a handful of times almost started writing exactly what it looks like you already have done.

Any idea when we'll be able to use/contribute to Flyash?

A couple of weeks, probably, depending on how much I feel like working on it. It was designed to be modular and easily extracted, but still needs some cleanup work and has a few nasty bugs I'd like to fix first.
