Dashboard looks nice, but it also looks similar (functionality-wise) to 
the usual suspects like munin and nagios.

Any particular reasons not to re-use most of munin/nagios' functionality 
and hook up django's data via a plugin?  I'm asking because we're 
starting to roll our own, too, instead of re-using munin :-)  I'm not 
particularly in favour as you need to rebuild a lot of common 
functionality (storing historical data, pinging hosts, website uptime 
monitor, etc.) just to get one or two specific wishes in.

So: I'm looking for more input :-)  We use django a lot internally, so 
*if* we're rolling our own, seeing a django project for it triggered my 
attention!
