That is amazing. See also http://mondash.org/ http://mondash.org/, which is much simpler, but similar in some aspects.

  Isn't mondash a "traditional" monitoring system? I see that you have to submit metrics individually, as JSON with a "value" attribute.

    Is it? I didn't know it. I thought it was interesting because it didn't required installing anything, or even signing up for an account. I wasn't aware that traditionally monitoring systems worked by submitting JSON data. Consider my comment invalid from now.

      I think you are right that the "really traditional" monitoring system like Nagios or Munin only work through agents and plugins. Some of the hosted systems have centralized APIs. But, to my knowledge, they all use the metric concept ((name, value) pairs) and it's why I called it "traditional".

        Oh, right. I don't like that. Mondash does it and it is not good.

This is pretty awesome-looking. I was thinking today about how to create a dashboard to which I could send data and easily add new widgets on it: graphs or lists or urgent notices. The examples for sending from django, python, rails, etc are really neat! I wouldn't have thought of directly sending querysets, but the simple example made it seem obvious. I hope you find the right paying niche for it. I personally wouldn't pay $20/month for it unless I had an active startup project. For me, a couple dollars a month maybe since my use would be pretty limited and occasional.

  Actually a free plan will be announced in a day or two. This should capture your needs without paying a dollar :).

    Neat, I'm setting a reminder to check back. I'm not opposed to paying. I just have to calibrate it against other things I am used to paying for. Cheers

This looks great! Are there any plans for self hosted setups?
- aartur 10y ago
  Do you mean an "enterprise" self-hosted plan with a price of >= $1k / mo? Generally everything is possible, since we are now learning how the users would like to use the service. But the SaaS model is easier to manage, and there are successful monitoring services that use this model (www.stathat.com).
