[chef] Re: Re: Graphing Chef metrics in graphite

Thanks for the replies all. I guess I had my head on wrong in that I 
was imagining a from-server dump to Graphite, rather than a from-client 
dump.

Chef-handler makes interesting reading and something I will definitely 
use. Chef-handler-graphite unfortunately not useable as given due to 
some environmental constraints, but certainly a good jumping off point 
for a handler I can put in place.

Cheers

Dan
