Looks very promising - I can't help wonder how you can spend time building a quality product like this, then release it for free : is there a monetization strategy at some point (i.e : pro support) ?

There is a Pro version in the works. The idea is to have a fully working open source variant with almost everything included. But if you want to monitor multiple servers, better support for multiple apps ( for example: color filter in the web interface ), email notifications , etc - then you can buy the Pro version. The Pro version will cost something that everyone can afford and it will be - pay once, use forever :)

I especially like the logging feature. Haven't had the chance to look at the code yet but how tightly coupled to mongodb is this? Would it be relatively easy to replace the store with redis?

It was Redis once :) But Redis is not a good database for storing Rails exceptions, that's why I replaced it with Mongo.
