Graphite / Statsd Notes

[brianfoshee]

This is meant to keep a running list of notes about graphite and I/we explore it.

• The JSON API docs: http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/render_api.html
• Using Postgres instead of SQLite as the storage backend: http://obfuscurity.com/2013/12/Migrating-Graphite-from-SQLite-to-PostgreSQL
• General graphite articles from a maintainer of the project and works at Librato.com http://obfuscurity.com/Tags/Graphite
• Third party graphing frontends that use the graphite data store and json api http://dashboarddude.com/blog/2013/01/23/dashboards-for-graphite/
• Visualizer that works with both influx and graphite http://grafana.org/
• Updated Go statsd package https://github.com/alexcesaro/statsd

@nathanprayzo not sure how to read into this yet, but influxdb is taking clustering closed-sourced as a monetization strategy. Obviously clustering wouldn't be in our immediate use-case for time series data, but for an open source project it seems a little iffy to me to already be heading down this path.
