Interesting! Really gorgeously rendered dashboards. But also weird. The fact that both the collectors, the storage and the UI runs on each box makes this more like a small-scale replacement for top and assorted command-line tools such as iostat than for a scalable, distributed monitoring system. Lack of central collection means you cannot get a cluster-wide view of a given metric, nor can you easily build alerting into this. I'm also disappointed that it reimplements a lot of collectors that already exists in mature projects like Collectd and Diamond (and, more recently, Influx's Telegraf). I understand that fewer external dependencies can be useful, but still, does every monitoring tool really need to write its own collector for reading CPU usage? You'd think there would be some standardization by now. For comparison, we use Prometheus + Grafana + a lot of custom metrics collectors. Grafana is less than stellar, though. I'd love to have this UI on top of Prometheus.
