Nope, but I'm intrigued by Graphite.  Most of my servers have enormously
long trends pages because of all the extra graphs I've added.  These are
indispensable for tracking down weird faults.  But the number of graphs and
RRD files has become unwieldy.  One major shortcoming is that I can't put
metrics from different hosts onto the same graph.  I've used RRGrapher <
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~plonka/RRGrapher/> to let me create ad-hoc graphs
like this, but it's obviously from last millennium, and could do with a
facelift.

I'd also like to integrate Smokeping into my monitoring service.  Having
multiple interfaces into the suite of RRD files makes for a
less-than-intuitive user experience.

For trending, Xymon can threshold (alert) on RRD files with the "DS"
operator in analysis.cfg.  Perhaps this can be extended to alert on
Holt-Winters aberrant behaviour thresholds.  Doing the same sort of thing
with a rewrite of the g2zproxy probably wouldn't be too difficult, at least
not on the Xymon side.
