It would be nice if there was a beat that was specifically for measuring cpu performance across a cluster. It could answer questions like:

- How many zombie processes are running in the cluster
- How much cpu spiked after last release.

A few products that can kind of do this already:  
[graphite](http://graphite.wikidot.com/)  
[cacti](http://www.cacti.net/)  
[threatstak](https://www.threatstack.com/)
