Graphite
========
You can export statistics to a ``Graphite`` server (time series server).
The connection should be defined in the Glances configuration file as
following:
.. code-block:: ini
[graphite]
host=localhost
port=2003
# Prefix will be added for all measurement name
# Ex: prefix=foo
# => foo.cpu
# => foo.mem
# You can also use dynamic values
#prefix=`hostname`
prefix=glances
and run Glances with:
.. code-block:: console
$ glances --export graphite
Note 1: the port defines the TCP port where the Graphite listen plain-text requests.
Note 2: As many time-series database, only integer and float are supported in the Graphite datamodel.
Note 3: Under the wood, Glances uses GraphiteSender Python lib (https://github.com/NicoAdrian/graphitesender).
