Hi I wish to record and report on application metrics. My data source is not cabon-like - it's http data coming into a relay server application we will write that is going to be on or near to the database server which for the sake of argument would be influxdb I wish to report on the data using something like graphite or grafana
So: 1. can I push data directly from my into influxdb so that it is graphite-like in format? It looks like I can just push to influxdb using the built in http server. 2. if so, what would that format be? 3. or, if I use grafana, should I worry about structuring it in a graphite compatible manner? Might it be better to do something different? I don't know how much I win from plugging in the graphite-api and graphite-influxdb components (see http://dieter.plaetinck.be/post/influxdb-as-graphite-backend-part2/ ) At this stage I don't know much about using graphite I just know I want to report on my metrics. As an addition I also want to be able to log in the database exception reports, and I've looked at https://blog.raintank.io/logs-and-metrics-and-graphs-oh-my/ Again this data would arrive at my server as http and be preprocessed by the relay application before storing in the database. But in this case I'd need some sort of front end to pull it back out - unless there's something out there to do the job for me. I'd really appreciate any suggestions or recommendations as to how I might proceed Thanks Tim -- Remember to include the InfluxDB version number with all issue reports --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "InfluxDB" group.
