Are you effectively after live performance monitoring? What I have been doing is pushing all the metrics into InfluxDB and charting it with Grafana.
Right now I have been treating it as a play thing for myself and so haven’t really said anything about the capability nor merged some of my latest work for it back into main code. If others want to play with it also, I can though finally merge my changes, outline how you can hook it up to InfluxDB and share some Grafana dashboards for a few things.
