Dieter P posted a new comment:
for event logging, there's:
* the "events" support in graphite (but it's IMHO a bit of a hack, i don't know many people using it).  I don't know if it supports text description data. i also don't know if there's any docs for it.
* logstash, if you have a large volume of (different) log events and wish to search through them/do analytics etc, comes with various processing utilities to make sense out of loose data. it's gaining a lot of traction
* anthracite, a simple event database I wrote to manage a specific set of events (deploys, changes, etc) and which aims for easy integration in plots.

for hoovering over graph and seeing values, I implemented that in
https://github.com/Dieterbe/graphitejs (currently only for rickshaw
backend, for flot backend (recommended) it's WIP).  I wrote this because
I couldn't find anything open source to generate client-side interactive
graphite graphs.  this aims to be an reusable component that many
dashboards can leverage.  it happens to also support showing events from
anthracite.
