My understanding is that sirona was/is a complete system, as opposed to a
collection of utilities.
If StackWatch is too big for LANG it seems too small for sirona.  Along
with sirona being retired etc.

This sounds almost like a sort of Commons Metrics type project. See <
http://metrics.dropwizard.io/4.0.0/> for an example. There's a sandbox

Sirona started from commons-monitoring ;)
