This is pretty awesome-looking. I was thinking today about how to create a dashboard to which I could send data and easily add new widgets on it: graphs or lists or urgent notices.
The examples for sending from django, python, rails, etc are really neat! I wouldn't have thought of directly sending querysets, but the simple example made it seem obvious.
I hope you find the right paying niche for it. I personally wouldn't pay $20/month for it unless I had an active startup project. For me, a couple dollars a month maybe since my use would be pretty limited and occasional.

Neat, I'm setting a reminder to check back. I'm not opposed to paying. I just have to calibrate it against other things I am used to paying for. Cheers

Is it? I didn't know it. I thought it was interesting because it didn't required installing anything, or even signing up for an account. I wasn't aware that traditionally monitoring systems worked by submitting JSON data.

I think you are right that the "really traditional" monitoring system like Nagios or Munin only work through agents and plugins. Some of the hosted systems have centralized APIs. But, to my knowledge, they all use the metric concept ((name, value) pairs) and it's why I called it "traditional".

Do you mean an "enterprise" self-hosted plan with a price of >= $1k / mo?
Generally everything is possible, since we are now learning how the users would like to use the service. But the SaaS model is easier to manage, and there are successful monitoring services that use this model (www.stathat.com).

See also http://mondash.org/, which is much simpler, but similar in some aspects.
Consider my comment invalid from now.
