Put Resin statistics graphs into anything using REST

Sample JVM Graph from Resin Admin
We’ve been doing a lot of work on our Resin administration application over the last few releases, adding features like statistic graphs, postmortem reports, and REST. The framework we’re building for these features is also quite extensible and easy to use. One of the in-house extensions we developed combines the REST and graph features so that you can export and embed user-defined graphs. We’ve added this extension to the main application for the upcoming 4.0.4 release so it’s available without any coding. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to embed Resin statistics graphs in your own monitoring tools, how the underlying graph API works, and give some tips on how to write your own similar extensions.
