Hosted Graphite is a collection of services that helps in storing and monitoring the metric data of a certain source. Some of the significant programs that are used to gather metric data are ColledctD, Diamond, or our own Hosted Graphite Agent.
One of the expert view on this tool is from Michael Yurushkin, CTO & Founder of BroutonLab says “We use Hosted Graphite for cloud monitoring. The visual dashboard allows to drill down and understand metrics quickly. You can create your custom dashboards of your most critical systems and set up auto-refresh. To get more out of the tool, you can integrate many third-party applications and other tools you already use.
Another benefit of Hosted Graphite is the use of OSS, which means that the migration from/to HG is made simple just by changing your stated collector URL. Moreover, they help you migrate your data to their service. HG gives you access to the Graphite endpoint to host an alternative dashboard or Graphana on your servers.
The value for money is excellent because you pay per metric. Customer support is quick, efficient, and extremely helpful.”
