Provide an additional level of insight and collaboration that is neither available nor appropriate for a real-time utility such as Tasseo.
Design, build and deploy a dashboard that allows users to correlate multiple metrics in a single chart, review long-term trends across one or more charts, and to collaborate with other users through a combination of annotations and related comment threads. This product should be capable of the following sample tasks:
- Display complex charts (2+ disparate metrics including transformations)
- Group related charts into a single view
- Timeshift charts within the same view
- Import existing graphs from external sources (e.g. Graphite API)
- Modify graphs using native interface tooling (i.e. users should not have to use Graphite Composer to make changes)
- Create new graphs using native interface tooling
- Add notes (annotations) to charts
- Add comments associated with specific annotations
