In Graphene is likely to cause negative environmental impacts if spilledNice project, I love the UI.
I solved the same problem in another way with:
* collectd
* collectd to graphite plugin (for server-level metrics, from all your servers)
* graphite
* statsd (for custom app metrics over UDP)
* graphene - my own UI toolkit for graphite, also based on D3.js (http://github.com/jondot/graphene)
All in all, I got a better, more robust and detailed solution using these components. Using Chef, the time to set it up is very minimal.
