New subject: Performance Visualization Frontend (Christy Okpo)

10 Jan 2015

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
