I'm missing a little detail here. I've never heard of "Diamond
metrics"
before. A little duckduckgo'ing suggests that it would be this project:

  https://github.com/python-diamond/Diamond

That sounds very interesting. Monitoring is something every environment
needs and each one has different requirements. Diamond support for
Gluster can definitely use some examples.

Do you think you could write a blog post or wiki article that contains
screenshots or so? It also may be very helpful to get your collector
included in the standard Diamond installation. Have you thought about
sending it to the python-Diamond project?

Thanks!
Niels

Niels,

Anyone needing this collector knows what diamond is already. ;)

But I guess I could have added a bit of context for those NOT in the 
know. And that is the correct project. It used to belong to BrighCove 
but they gave it up a while ago.

I have to admit, it is a great metrics collection suit. Very lite-
weight, fast and extensible.

There isn't a lot to explain but will see if I can clear some time to 
write a short something about it. Will also be submitting it for 
inclusion in the package as soon as I feel there are no major issues 
(hence the call for testers).

Chuck
