Graphite
FundedEnterprise-ready monitoring tool for storing and graphing time-series metrics
About Graphite
Graphite is a robust monitoring solution designed to store, retrieve, and visualize numeric time-series data efficiently. It enables enterprises to track the performance of websites, applications, business services, and networked servers, providing critical insights into operational health and capacity planning. The platform consists of three core components: Carbon, a high-performance service for ingesting metrics; Whisper, a database library for long-term storage; and Graphite-web, which offers a user interface and API for rendering graphs and dashboards.
Originally developed as an open source project, Graphite has evolved into an enterprise-grade tool that supports deployment on both cost-effective hardware and cloud infrastructure. It is ideal for organizations seeking a scalable, reliable monitoring system with extensive integration capabilities. While Graphite itself does not collect metrics, it supports a broad ecosystem of collection agents and third-party tools, simplifying the process of feeding data into its time-series database. Its flexible output formats, including images, CSV, XML, and JSON, facilitate embedding custom visualizations into other dashboards or web pages, enhancing operational visibility for IT and DevOps teams.
