i'm looking for some assistance with monitoring metrics going in to graphite. 

Is there a simple way to obtain a list of all metrics through the webapp with the last let's say 5-15 values in each metric? 
This method seems like a heavy load on the webapp/apache and i don't think is a good approach. just throwing it out there though. 

Another method I am considering is to simply pole the raw data from the carbon.agents.*.metricsReceived metric ( http://<server>/render/?_salt=1318353549.484&target=carbon.agents.*.metricsReceived&from=-15minutes&rawData=1) then create low/high thresholds for use with nagios. one downside to this is that as we add more machines and tools to report in to graphite these thresholds will change.


How are others monitoring that data is going in to graphite for specific applications or systems?

Thanks.
