ah. ok. we were going to start looking into getting some metrics too, but hadn't yet. We're infernalis now, and going to jewel soon. Theres a huge difference between jewel and hammer. So maybe its better now... The whole single namespace for all tenants thing is supposed to be fixed in jewel too. which has bitten us on multiple occasions.

Thanks,
Kevin
