At the risk of coming across spammy, I'm the founder of a web service called Geckoboard [1] that might be useful here.
It integrates with 3rd party services such as Google Analytics, Freshbooks, Pingdom, Mixpanel, Zendesk, Uservoice etc. and we're pushing out new connections regularly.
Where it might be useful for you is that we also have an API that allows you to use your own scripts to get data that's in your database onto the status board. You create a script that outputs XML or JSON in a certain format, add a widget to your Geckoboard that's configured to poll your script at regular intervals (support for webhooks is coming) and the data appears on your dashboard that's accessible anywhere you can get on the web.
We're in private beta but will be offering paid plans very soon. I'll reiterate my open offer to HNers: if you would like to check it out the beta then just use the email address in my profile and tell me your HN handle.

- joshdotsmith 16y agoHeh, I actually already use Geckoboard, and I have created my own custom widgets for it. It's an awesome service, to be sure; I plan to continue to use it. If you revamp your charts at all, let me know, as I'm really trying to get some more intense data into my dashboard.
- pmjoyce 16y agoGreat to hear you're using it, thanks! We're planning a major revamp of all the widgets. In the meantime you can use a custom text widgets (which accept images and inline styles but no JS) to render whatever you want. Drop me a line if you would like any help getting something up.
