Another option is Evident ClearStone ( http://www.evidentsoftware.com/products/clearstone-for-cassandra/).
It collects the Cassandra metrics via JMX as well. As long as one node in the cluster is configured, it'll find the rest of them. The UI is written in Adobe Flex. The Cassandra management pack comes with some pre-built visualizations for Cassandra. However, you can easily create adhoc visualizations to monitor any other metric. Users can set thresholds and alerts on JVM heap, GC, LiveSSTables, disk usage, cache hit rate, compactions, CPU utilization, and other metrics. In addition, some of the nodetool features have been incorporated into the UI for quick and simple access. In our upcoming Q1 release, we're adding support for system level monitoring (via SAR) for the purposes of correlating application performance with system. Check it out on our website.
