Failure. You don't know your audience. Fortune 500's will pay you to spit out graphs, but they don't use bleeding edge tools like Redis. Anyone who uses Redis in any serious fashion already knows that the numbers you show on the homepage are easy to get to. Just write a script to pump them into $graphing_software. My advice would be to give the current product away for free (yes right now), making the barrier to entry lower than doing it yourself and capturing future customers. Then focus on selling people things that are hard, like real actionable intelligence. Everything you charge for should answer a question like "what", "who", "where", "why". Free stuff should answer questions like "how many". [Edit: Just realized you are the Hoptoad guys (of which I am a happy user), so I know you have the potential]
