Show HN: Hosted Graphite service (with statsd integration)
- wickedchicken 14y agoInteresting. Do you do any correlation or alerts like Librato Metrics or is this just a graphing service? The $5/mo price point is similar for both services...
- tbh 14y agoBoth automatic correlation and alerting are absolutely on the roadmap. We're just getting started. :)

- fasouto 14y agoJust one thing, you have a checkbox to accept the terms of service, but I dind't find a link to the document.
- tbh 14y agoThat's right, sorry! Fixing that broken link shortly...
- alt_ 14y agoOther minor defects: About-page is caught by a wildcard which shows a slightly modified landing page with different prices. Flexible layout could use some more testing. Choose plan buttons escape their parent boxes on the right at minimum width. Free trial button could use some vertical breathing room at min. width. Login and sign up links change colour (gray to blue) and go vertical.
- bluesmoon 14y agoalso, on the support page, I'd make it a regular clickable email address rather than "support at hostedgraphite.com". You want to make it easy for your customers to reach you. At this point you shouldn't be too worried about spam. We've had our email address on our site for about 6 months now, and have received a total of 3 spam messages that weren't caught by google's filters. Not sure how good huggl.es is wrt spam filtering, but, you won't get much spam until you're popular enough to be crawled by spammers, and once you're popular enough, you'll be able to afford spam filtering software.
- tbh 14y agoGood point! That has been fixed. :)
- tbh 14y agoI hid the about link for now, we'll bring it back later. Thanks for the comments, we'll work through those. Much appreciated!
- callmevlad 14y agoIs the order of the pricing options intentional? I'm seeing Medium, Large, Small, Tiny. It's sort of disorienting - seems like Large should be first.
- apeofsteel 14y agoThat was my bad - It's something of an experiment to try and get people to read all of the options instead of gravitating directly to 'cheap'.
- dantheman 14y agoMaybe do small, medium, large, developer. That way it's: $$, $$$, $$$$, $
- apeofsteel 14y agoGood suggestion, I'll try that.
- smerritt 14y agoAny limits on the number of metrics or metrics/s?
- tbh 14y agoThe metric limit isn't on the front page yet, but you can see it per-plan on the plan choosing page: http://www.hostedgraphite.com/pick_plan/ http://www.hostedgraphite.com/pick_plan/ There is a limit on metrics/sec, currently 50/sec, but we're trying to keep that limit high enough that people don't need to worry about it. We expect that most people won't hit the API directly and will use statsd instead.
- runako 14y agoFeedback: this service looks oriented toward teams managing complex applications in production. $5 is never an appropriate monthly price for those folks. Even if it's just one developer (consider pinboard.in, for example). If that one developer needs hosted Graphite to monitor his/her app it's worth considerably more than $5 to that developer. Also: I understand this is likely your MVP website, but you should at least link to a page about Graphite, even if it's not on your website. And screenshots are going to really sell this thing.
- apeofsteel 14y agoGood feedback, work in progress!
