[chef] Re: Re: Dashboard for Chef

Etsy seems to use the report handler that comes with the knife-lastrun plugin [1] for collecting information about chef runs. For graphing this information they use graphite according to their presentation [2] at ChefConf.

The combination of knife-lastrun, graphite and gdash (resp. chef-gdash [3] :-)) looks very appealing to me.

Cheers,

Torben
