Did you roll your own SVG chart lib for this? If not, mind sharing which one you're using? It's very nice.

If you were to make it so I can open a socket or websocket to it (perhaps on a second, internal port) and publish whatever data I want, that'd be all kinds of nifty. That is, make it so I can just start spraying numbers at ws://myhost:5556/Really%20Awesome%20Data and with that a nice auto-scaled chart magically appears in the dashboard.

Edit: Oh, I see a github ribbon. Maybe you'll see a pull request sometime soon...

Edit 2: Anyone wondering about my original question - the charts are built using the D3 project.

Our source for the charts is here: https://github.com/scoutapp/scout_realtime/blob/master/lib/s...

It's not yet in a state for plug-and-play usage in other projects. If you're looking to rollout smooth-scrolling charts quickly, checkout http://smoothiecharts.org/.

I just built this yesterday: http://blog.vivekpanyam.com/plotter-plot-anything/. Inspired by Tasseo and Scout Realtime

Cheers! If this were a "Show HN" I'd be happy to upvote! Edit: I see now that it kinda/sorta was, and I missed the opportunity.

I've been searching for something like that for a while now. A metrics web framework that consumes and renders json/edn would be interesting.

I've been using shopify/dashing for metrics display:

You can post JSON directly to each widget. It's also based on Sinatra.

Someone already created a widget for Rickshaw graphs, I suppose it could be adapted to use D3.js.
