New question #183898 on Graphite:

For those not familiar with collectl you can read more about it here - 
collectl.sourceforge.net - but the short description is it's a very lightweight 
data collection utility that collects just about everything you'd ever want to 
see. Given its root in HPC monitoring, I believe it's one of the few utilities 
that can also collect data on InfiniBand, Lustre and even NUMA memory.  It's 
currently running on a number of multi-K node clusters.

One of the big wins with a tool like graphite is you can instruct collectl to 
log everything it collects locally (hundreds of data points) every 10 seconds 
and send a subset of that data to graphite if you want to keep the traffic 
down.  You can even send data at a  different monitoring interval to graphite.

I've written up more about it at http://collectl.sourceforge.net/Graphite.html, 
which is currently not linked to.

My plan is to release this in the next version of collectl, which will probably 
come out in a month or so, but I'd feel a lot better about it if some serious 
graphite users could take it for a test drive and tell me what they think.  It 
will also give me an opportunity to incorporate any enhancements or bug fixes 
people might identify.  Just shoot me an email OR reply to this posting if 
you're interested.

It's literally a matter of installing collectl from a tarball or rpm and 
running it - no configuration/setup required.
