New Relic was the inspiration for this idea. I shouldn't have to put my data into NR to get value, the data is already either in my app's DB or running through my app. There are actually a lot of reasons why having it be installed and within the app itself is ideal, opens up many doors that are closed by NR. I want something that starts with that as a first principle and then figures out the way to best execute it.
Will check out Looker!
