Comment(by ioerror):

 Karsten, I'm confused - why not simply define a format that is expected
 and fail to graph (but someone can store) it; all the while graphs are
 regularly generated?

 The easy thing is to just ensure that the parser is implemented in GetTor
 and GetTor attempts to parse the data before sending it onward. In the
 event that it can't parse the data, we send kaner or me or someone an
 email about it. The graphs might get choppy from time to time but never in
 a time sensitive way, never with lost data, etc.

 Most of that can happen on the GetTor side - I feel like the rest is
 implemented on your side already. It seems a bit much to maintain a
 totally different site for an area of the metrics page that already
 exists.
