On: Tracelytics: Google Dapper for the Rest of Us

The screenshots and narrative don't provide nearly enough information to warrant a registration. There's not even a price-tag, will this cost $10 a month or $1000? How does it hook into my infrastructure, do you provide plugins (for which platforms?), is it a daemon, kernel modules, SNMP?

You should really provide a live-demo or at least a screencast so potential buyers can get a remote idea of what they're looking at here.

In response to your second question, we provides two things:

- A set of add-on packages in the format of choice for the component we're instrumenting -- Ruby gems, Apache modules, etc. Full support list is here: http://www.tracelytics.com/features/#!/supported-platforms

- A daemon that runs on each machine that is tracing, which collects the partial traces and ships them back to our servers.

We're working on a more complete try-before-you-install experience. If you'd like, shoot me an email (my username at traceltyics) and I'll keep you updated.
