Charting

I wanted to pull together some of the best stuff I could find on charting in under 60 minutes...I may have taken longer playing with this this stuff.

General idea

I'm looking around for stuff that's reasonable to use as the basis of dashboards. I don't know if I want a full dashboarding thing, or just glue stuff together.

It really has to handle super-fast, high-volume websocket updates, and it shouldn't rely on querying a ton of data to get started. This is more like fire-and-forget stuff than hang-around-for-a-long-time stuff.

Dashboards

Open source. Some kind of signup thing. Code on Github.

Graphite replacement. Dynamic updating. Orange theme.

UI built to work with a specific backend. May be able to be connected to other backends.

Sentry seems to be an open source thing backed by a company that's got clients like Pintrest and Disqus.

This is a really cool looking dashboard. Gauges, time-series graphs, and interesting logs. It's got some kinda cool features and some labs stuff.

Not open source. Might be free. Not quite sure.

Libraries

Built on D3, it's done by Square and related to their Cube software and done with Graphite in mind. Seems pretty good. I like their horizon charts. They also have a metric feature.

Built on D3, this focuses on re-usable charts and chart components. Their set of examples is pretty impressive. I especially liked the line with view finder.

Some interesting graphs, but not terribly compelling.

Articles & Reviews

Fantastic site with short descriptions, images, and details about each set of tools and libraries.

Covers a number of tools and charting options from Raphael to D3 to CartoDB.

Some pretty cool design ideas.

Not a ton of detail, but lots of options.

Decent summaries, and a fair number of image previews.

Just one of many.

Mike Bostock's Stuff

Mike created D3. He's got some fantastic stuff out there.

It might be cool to see a graph of all of the requests within your network (or even out). You could get an idea of what's talking to what and what the error rate, response time, etc are.
