What is Graphite? It is a tool for building time series databases and displaying the results via dashboards.

Installing

Just use Docker.

See Docker/System Stats#graphite docker.

Charlesreid1 git repo: https://git.charlesreid1.com/docker/d-graphite

Basic Operations

Data I/O

Getting data into graphite

Link: http://graphiteapp.org/quick-start-guides/feeding-metrics.html

Easy as using netcat:

$ echo "foo.bar 1 `date +%s`" | nc localhost 2003

Getting data out of graphite

Link: http://graphiteapp.org/quick-start-guides/graphing-metrics.html

The web app is how you explore your metrics.

Grafana is how you soup things up and trick things out for dashboards.
