This seems to be basically a collector that sends data to Datalog (a NON open-source service that costs $15/host/month). I recommend setting up Grahite+statsd (it's truly amazing and open-source realtime metrics setup).

I'm not sure I understand what "shortest time to app metrics viz" means. Are you referring to the time Pup takes to create charts? Or the lowest time frequency (minutes, seconds etc.) it can handle?
Graphite defaults to reporting at 1-minute intervals, and can report at a finer granularity (1 sec. intervals) if you tweak a few settings and set up a cluster. I'm just wondering how Pup differs in this respect.
I meant it as a shortest time from "I wish I could see my app metrics" to actually seeing them. In other words, ease of set-up, lack of knobs, having metrics appear automatically.
By default, pup aggregates statsd data in 10s intervals, and the UI refreshes it continuously.
