One of Graphite's strengths comes from its ability to apply functions to
multiple metrics. That's only exposed via the render api. Graphite is
a higher level of abstraction on top of the raw whisper data files.
If you're happy looking at simple thresholds for a single metric, you
can use the solution my team came up with: we wrote a proxy for carbon-
cache that generates alerts based on the value of a metric and sends
them to Sensu. It's dead simple, but effective for alerting in real
time when the load average for a system has gone too high, and doesn't
require Graphite to query the data.
