Grafana Cloud Graphite Monitoring by Grafana

How will your team benefit from Grafana Cloud’s Graphite service?

Graphite is an open source monitoring system first developed by Chris Davis at Orbitz in 2006, and has since been adopted by various other contributors.

The Graphite ecosystem provides a scalable platform for gathering and storing time-series data, and a powerful suite of functions to query and analyze that data over time.

Grafana Labs is proud to support the development of the Graphite project by employing Graphite maintainers, building first-class support for Graphite into Grafana, and ensuring Grafana customers receive Graphite support and features they need.

Some particular contributions from Grafana Labs to Graphite include support for tags and a rewrite of the clustering subsystem. In the broader Graphite ecosystem, we also work on carbon-relay-ng and metrictank.


Graphite is an open source monitoring system ideal for gathering and storing time-series data. But for teams that need to scale their Graphite storage, turning to a managed solution takes the stress off of internal teams when resources aren’t available

Our Graphite monitoring service accepts metrics from your Graphite deployments and stores them in our highly-available backend. This allows you to easily query across your entire infrastructure and create custom alerts.

With our Graphite monitoring service, you’ll be able to:

  • Scale your Graphite instance to meet enterprise needs
  • Enjoy unlimited custom metrics
  • Upload historical data
