Graphite does two things, it stores numeric time-series data and renders graphs of this data on demand. What Graphite does not do is collect data for you, however, there are some tools out there that know how to send data to graphite. Even though it often requires a little code, sending data to Graphite is very simple. Graphite is an enterprise-scale monitoring tool that runs well on cheap hardware. It was originally designed and written by Chris Davis at Orbitz in 2006 as side project that ultimately grew to be a foundational monitoring tool. In 2008, Orbitz allowed Graphite to be released under the open-source Apache 2.0 license. Since then Chris has continued to work on Graphite and has deployed it at other companies including Sears, where it serves as a pillar of the e-commerce monitoring system. Today many large companies use it.
