This stuff is all new to me but I really liked your demo last week.

Gavin and I were talking earlier about how to set up graphing for Rabbit, 
since our tuolumne approach of "write a huge query on the database" won't work 
for figuring out queue lengths and other Rabbity stats.

Apologies if I missed it earlier in the thread, but how do you think we could 
do that with current or future tools?

Cheers.
