If infrastructure (eg system) configuration is the goal, there's already a much more accessible project with backend support (flexibility to hack up support for ldap, zk, etc): https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera Intro: http://www.devco.net/archives/2011/06/05/hiera_a_pluggable_h... Note: Does not depend on puppet, so it'll work with chef. A hiera-databag adapter would make sense.

HN discussionI would suggest a few things. There are 3 presentations / blog posts that are must reads for this sort of thing... Measure Anything, Measure Everything[1] Metrics Driven Engineering[2] Metrics, Metrics, Everywhere[3] The most common tool used for this is graphite[4].
