How do you measure ?

     A lot of report tools out there , like :

• NewRelic (easy setup , very gui -- low feature set )
• Splunk (enterprise)
• Nagios (enterprise)
• etc ... you tell me

We want it all togeher and as simple as possible

Graphite

• Open Source , one man project started at Orbitz
• Written in Phyton

Graphite : 

• Pros : 
• Simple Interface --> push("namespace",date,value)
• RRDB --> The amount of space taken is proportional to the amount of metrics we have , not the data.
• Very simple data customization the data in the way you need  
• Cons
• Relatively hard to setup if you dont know linux & phyton ( compared to NewRelic for instance) 
• Pretty ugly Gui

hands on ...

   Things you need to run it :
