Provisioning the Hosted Graphite Add-on for AppHarbor

You can now begin to send metric messages (see: The Metric Data Format) to Hosted Graphite from your AppHarborapplication. For more information on App Harbor, check out the about AppHarbor page.

Troubleshooting

  • If I have trouble with my metrics, should I remove and re-add the Hosted Graphite plugin?
    No! Removing the Hosted Graphite plugin permanently deletes your metrics from Hosted Graphite. If you’re having trouble and can’t find help in these docs or our FAQ, then just get in touch. We’re happy to help.
