Graphite

How do I get telemetry from ERMA to Graphite?

Asked by auslander

I have instrumented my application using ERMA, and now I'd like to view that telemetry using Graphite.... I don't see any HOWTO or other docs for what monitor processor to use in ERMA to send data out to Carbon or whatever needs to actually receive that data.

At Orbitz we use Streambase between ERMA-monitored hosts and Graphite to aggregate the data before it is persisted, so we don't actually have a monitor processor that will output directly to Graphite. It would be pretty simple to write one though based on the simple Graphite message format:

As the referenced python example shows, it's can be done by opening a socket connection to carbon and sending data in the Graphite message format.

Can you help with this problem?
