Graphite consists of a storage backend and a web-based visualization frontend.
|
|
Client applications send streams of numeric time-series data to the Graphite
|
|
backend (called carbon), where it gets stored in fixed-size database files
|
|
similar in design to RRD. The web frontend provides 2 distinct user interfaces
|
|
for visualizing this data in graphs as well as a simple URL-based API for
|
|
direct graph generation.
|
|
|
|
Graphite's design is focussed on providing simple interfaces (both to users
|
|
and applications), real-time visualization, high-availability, and enterprise
|
|
scalability.
