Hi,

for reporting system, we use collectd here (at Fotolia): http://collectd.org/

And for beanstalk, we use a ruby script executed via Exec plugin:
http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Exec
source of ruby script:
http://github.com/luddic/collectd-scripts/blob/master/beanstalkd.rb

We have now some metrics for each tube

And for monitoring, we use nagios with correct plugin:
http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/Nagios-Plugin-Beanstalk-0.04/
(can check age of tube, quite useful)
