Fancy Dashboards

By using the generated performance data and sending them to a graphite backend, you can create quite fancy metric dashboards. See the following screenshot for an example (the frontend is Graphana). I have included the configuration file in the contrib folder. You just have to edit the field with <YOUR_GRAPHITE_PREFIX> to your graphite data sources.
