So you'd design your own UI + graphs?

I did. It's simple, but intentionally so - essentially just a linear list of stripcharts and some basic formatting.

The general idea was that in steady-state operation, the only thing that should really be seen is the data of interest.

Honestly, the thing that's been the most time-consuming is getting data transported efficiently and quickly to the front end for rendering. The rendering itself hasn't been a huge deal, and is essentially the one part of the system where I haven't thought seriously about replacing it with something 'real'.

(The stripchart plot code itself is here, and I haven't touched it in three years. https://github.com/mschaef/metlog/blob/master/metlog-vault/s... )
