Graphite (software)

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.
