In a nutshell, yes. You can also contribute some of the features you need to pup if you are so inclined.
We're on a mission to provide monitoring that doesn't suck, and we believe that making it easy and rewarding to instrument your app is an important step on the way.

Is Pup only designed to use it on my dev. machine to run it in my development environment, or can i use it on my production system? :)

We designed pup to be first and foremost accessible to developers, but it will work just the same on production systems.
Once you get addicted to metrics and want more aggregation / graphing / alerting / analysis capabilities, there's a number of open-source components you can pipe your statsd data into. Or you can use our own http://datadoghq.com service for that.
- DogStatsD is running on my Server and is collecting data. - I can use "dogstatsd-ruby" to collect data from my (i.e.) Rails App. - DogStatsD reports Stats to your Service Datadog HQ (optional) - Pup is a small version of Datadog HQ that is running locally on my Server and connects directly to DogStatsD. - If i feel Pup doen't satisfy my needs, i can switch from Pup to Datadog HQ, get more functions and you my money? :)
right?
