Graphite, a free open-source software (FOSS) tool, monitors and graphs the performance of computer systems.[1] Developed in 2006, it was released as open-source software in 2008.

Graphite collects, stores, and displays time-series data in real time.

The tool has three main components:

  1. carbon - a Twisted daemon that listens for time-series data
  2. whisper - a simple database library for storing time-series data (similar in design to RRD)[1]
  3. graphite webapp - A Django webapp that renders graphs on-demand using Cairo
