There are two major graphing and storage platforms in the OS world right now:
- Graphite (often with statsd)
- It’s more popular and has been around longer
- It has a larger collection of functions
- It doesn’t require setting up HBase
- Installation:
- There are install instructions on the Graphite Wiki.
- Next, you’ll want to install statsd to support aggregation of metrics.
- It’s a good idea to take a peek at the Graphite config
- Put the hostname/port of your statsd install in the Bucky config.
- OpenTSDB.
- It can handle more data
- It stores every datapoint, not aggregations
- Installation:
- You can find OpenTSDB instructions here.
- Plug the hostname/port of your install in the Bucky config.
