looks interesting: http://riemann.io/ guess heka is somewhat obligatory link within that same scope as well http://blog.mozilla.org/services/2013/04/30/introducing-heka/ i kinda have a problem with using java/clojure/ruby/etc compared to a _small_ daemon for statistics (or buildbots; looking at you jekyll) launch java? there's 500m ram gone definitely, i'm not into bloat... not sure how big clojure would be... i'm more familiar with ruby i think riemann has resource fetching trhough ruby and heka through lua or go i usually end up with collectd :/ yeah rrd is kind of hitting its limit though. should probably push into graphite or limit, rather me misusing it asking for exact values and storing in gauges :) rrd doesnt' really scale I'd say RRD scales in the way that it doesn't scale - it has a set limit, and as such, a set scale. "Here's 512kb, never run out of space due to logs growing." That said - I agree that RRD falls on its face if you're looking to store/retrieve exact values, which is something I try to do from time to time. (But it's not meant for that...) hmmm, anything going on with kvr14's raid array? i/o seems incredibly slow right now whitefang: the load looks fine over here up_the_irons: alright, thanks.
