Looks nice for testing something, but I see no information about support (especially notifications about security patches).

EDIT: looking at their scripts, it's using a client written in Ruby with its own Ruby installation. Things are installed in {/usr/local/,/var/*/}rayburst.

The client gets installed in /usr/local/rayburst and data for your install goes under /var/lib/rayburst. It's done so that it doesn't get in the way of any of your actual installs (had enough conflicts with system ruby when testing). And you can clear out those directories once everything is installed.

All in all the current design is to get things installed on a new server and then get out of your way.
