I looked at using Graphite/Ceres a couple of years ago, but I couldn't get graphs out of it with good enough layout so I gave up.

It would be a colossal amount of work, and at this point, I don't think it would bring benefits greater than other things we would spend our time on.

We don't have the ability to alert on metrics polled as 'graphs' yet. I'm still trying to work out how best to do it.

I would think something along the lines of Graphite's queries for moving averages over a timespan would be a good start.  Which of course begs the question -- does it make any sense to use Graphite as the backend instead of RRD?  Huge change, granted, but it is much more scalable among other nice attributes.  More machinery, though.  Without actually using Graphite, would it be even reasonable to add a checker type linked to a RRD query?  I am guessing it would be too much load past a handful of checks.
