http://metrics20.org/spec/ + http://dieter.plaetinck.be/post/monitorama-pdx-metrics20/

The benefits from the canonical list of keys include:

easier to define checks, queries, and dashboards because of metric naming consistency
easier to write tools against the more consistent way of reasoning about metrics
easier to define rollup patterns, and more flexible, since one can decide to keep particular dimensions (like cloud server id) for a short time (since they're more ephemeral and only relevant short term), and other dimensions for a longer time

Netflix's Atlas monitoring tool independently seems to arrived at the same sort of conclusions as the spec's author.
