Turning a query result into a chart is literally one line of code. FnordMetric let's you collect and visualize timeseries data using only SQL. It enables you to build beautiful real-time analytics dashboards within minutes. Documentation: [fnordmetric.io](http://fnordmetric.io/documentation/) [  ](http://travis-ci.org/paulasmuth/fnordmetric) [  ](http://github.com/paulasmuth/fnordmetric) If you're like me you are probably thinking something along the lines of "Does the world really need yet another data visualization tool?" right now. Surely, there already is gnuplot and about a bazillion javascript libraries that let you draw pretty charts. Most of the existing open source tools require you to provide the input data in some specific, custom format. I reckon this is not ideal. It means you have to write a heap of reptitive glue code (or sed incantations if that's your thing) to mangle your input data into that format. If you run a lot of ad-hoc queries you have to waste a significant amount of time on this boring legwork that could much better be spent on interesting tasks. ### ChartSQL FnordMetric ChartSQL allows you to write SQL queries that return charts instead of tables. The charts are rendered as SVG vector graphics and can easily be embedded into any website and customized with css in order to build beautiful dashboards. You can execute ChartSQL queries from the command line against a number of external sources like CSV files or a MySQL database. FnordMetric aims to fix that by extending standard SQL; it allows you to express queries that return charts rather than tables. ### FnordMetric Server An example says more than a thousand words so here is how you generate a shiny timeseries chart from a csv file using nothing else than plain old SQL. ... Fnordmetric Server is a standalone HTTP server application. It exposes a web UI and a HTTP API to run ChartSQL queries and collect timeseries data. You can use fnordmetric-server as a one-stop solution for metric collection and charting. Since fnordmetric-server aims to be a StatsD+graphite competitor, it implements a wire compatible StatsD API. FnordMetric Server can store the collected timeseries data on local disk or in external storage (HBase).
