Hello, Thanks both for your responses, defiantly looking at collectd + graphite, just wanted to see what overheads where like, far from in a situation that would choke the cluster but wanted to check first.

If you need something that involves "what happened on OSD x at time y", collectd and graphite (or deviations of if) are your friends, but they do cost you a CPU cycle or two. OTOH, if your OSDs or MONs were to choke from that kind of monitoring, you're walking on very thin ice already.
