Overview

Description

Cacti is a complete network graphing solution designed to harness the power of RRDTool's data storage and graphing functionality. Round robin archive (RRA) settings can be customized giving the user the ability to gather data on non-standard timespans while storing varying amounts of data. Contains a "data input" mechanism that allows users to define custom scripts that can be used to gather data. Each script can contain arguments that must be entered for each data source created using the script (such as an IP address). Read more

Graphite is an enterprise-ready monitoring tool that runs equally well on cheap hardware or Cloud infrastructure. Teams use Graphite to track the performance of their websites, applications, business services, and networked servers. Metrics get fed into the stack via the Carbon service, which writes the data out to Whisper databases for long-term storage. Users interact with the Graphite web UI or API, which in turn queries Carbon and Whisper for the data needed to construct the requested graphs. Read more
