Graphite is a free open-source software (FOSS) tool that monitors and graphs numeric time-series data such as the performance of computer systems. Graphite was developed by Orbitz Worldwide, Inc and released as open-source software in 2008.
Graphite collects, stores, and displays time-series data in real time.
The tool has three main components:
- Carbon - a Twisted daemon that listens for time-series data
- Whisper - a simple database library for storing time-series data (similar in design to RRD)
- Graphite webapp - A Django webapp that renders graphs on-demand using Cairo library.
Graphite is used in production by companies such as Ford Motor Company, Booking.com, GitHub, Etsy, The Washington Post and Electronic Arts.
