Everything about Graphite (software)

Open-source time-series metrics monitoring and graphing tool

Graphite is an open-source monitoring tool that stores numeric time series data and renders graphs on demand. It was developed at Orbitz Worldwide by Chris Davis and released as open-source software in 2008. Graphite does not collect metrics itself; it receives data pushed from collection agents such as collectd, StatsD, or Telegraf, stores it in its Whisper database, and provides a web-based API for querying and rendering graphs.
