[Nix-dev] What monitoring tools do you currently prefer?

[Domen Kožar]

It is worth mentioning datadog (as aggregation server) builds upon very
strong concepts of https://github.com/etsy/statsd/ (as client-side
statistics collecting tool).

For application developers it's nice because you can collection system and
application data under same api.

Jaka also added Graphite (OSS web tool for drawing graphs from statsd)
support to NixOS, but it's far from datadog capabilities.
