Hi,
In terms of where the data will be coming from, it will be coming from node-txstatsD, a port of statsD/node-statsD, a statsD client. I had previously been working on using Event Emitters in conjunction with statsD, but node-txstatsD seems to solve the task of obtaining and sending timing to a visualization front-end.
The data to be visualized will be timing (in ms), counts, and maybe sizes(KB, MB).
Based on this, what would be the recommended front-end to then visualize the information?

Hello,
The more important question is where will your data come from: event logging? graphite? elsewhere? visualization comes secondary to this.
EventLogging is a good solution for structured, somewhat complex, application data, graphite is s good solution for plain counters, which is well suited to perf data. Let us know if you already have data and we can proceed from there.
Thanks,
Nuria
