I use Resmon to show the most current svn version in our production tree, then pull that into Circonus every minute. I can correlate that with *any* other metrics in the system, but I already spotted one problem last week with a web spike caused by an errant push. The cool thing about Circonus' graphs (compared to RRD, for example) is that each datapoint is collected independently and stored indefinitely. Because graphs are json objects referencing each data store (for a given time range), you can easily create graphs that correlate any number of metrics, without having to muck with RRD files or PHP source.
