Thanks everybody for your responses. Here's what I ended up doing:

   1. Setup papertrail with a custom query for
   events?q=heroku%2Frouter+ERROR+H12
   2. Push from papertrail to our Geckboard custom number widget. This was
   straightforward in "Alerts" under Papertrail search options.

Now I see a nice picture on Geckoboard, at least socializing the size of
the 503 problem: http://cl.ly/image/182A2q102E3S

cheers
